London Museum Docklands

Wonderful free museum that covers Roman London to the controversial Canary Wharf. Spend at least half a day here. Don't miss Old London Bridge and Victorian Wapping. http://bit.ly/2zDtICl

Fantastic place for families, from the baby friendly facilities to the soft play area . The selection of cakes is worth to mention: gluten free and sugar-laden for those with a sweet tooth like me!

Great educational kids' area including free soft play with some age specific times (check/book online). Small cafe with highchairs and buggy park . 1min walk to West India Quay DLR station with a lift.

Hidden gem of London museums . Packed with expositions and interesting information for children and adults. Free entrance, workshops for children and talks for everyone.

Fun to go with kids. Self Paced and explanatory. Good walk to spend a couple of hours in London. The recreations of the old villages are amazing

Fab museum charting the history of London since the Romans invented the place, 2000 years ago. The river has always been integral to the growth of the city - and this museum tells the complete story!

Great, very informative and interactive exhibition . You really get a glimpse of how life in the East End used to be.

This place is a gem. Tucked away in NW corner of Docklands complex, it traces the history of the docks, trade and the people. Busy on-site café but connected to a bar which also serves food.

Great free musuem on London's dock history, Canary Wharf & with a fun recreation of streets back then in 'Sailortown'.

Really good soft play on the ground floor. Needs booking . Took my daughters on a Sunday 1600 session and it was not very busy. Will definitely return!

Very interesting and informative museum . Almost a hidden gem it’s a must visit.

This free museum covers the history of the River Thames and the Docklands from Roman times to the modern day! Go for a cup of tea at the adjoining Rum & Sugar afterwards.

Superb museum , displaying fascinating history of London's docks in an interesting and informative way. Beautiful old building in the heart of docklands - with very good access, especially given age.

Free museum with plenty to see about London and the Docklands. My favourite bit is it the children's area, Mudlarks, with a soft play area for children under a metre (just under 4 or so) and the rest

Housed in a 19th-century warehouse (itself a Grade I-listed building), this huge museum explores the complex history of London's docklands and the river over two millennia. Read more

Impressed that the museum devotes so much time to England's active involvement in the slave trade .

Lovely place - a great piece of history in a 3-storey building. Totally worth the time spent.

Great place for kids, many activities. Let them explore the dickensian neighbourood and discover Scrooge's house

This fascinating museum is located in an old Georgian sugar warehouse , and tells the 2,000 year story of London’s river , port and people. It also houses the archives of the Port of London Authority.

Great Kids Events here, well executed. You are encouraged to book in advance....

Get to know the history of the River Thames and Docklands and their role in the development of London through migration and trade from Roman settlement, through to the recent regeneration.

Like the rest of London's museums - this one is also free and provides a great timeline of the history of the river and the docks - http://www.museumoflondon.org.uk/Docklands/

Free entry (not £5, that's just a suggested donation). Get your tickets for the kids section on entry and make sure you do a singing tour through Sailortown (lights that look like candles)

Small, free entry, good to visit

One of those little talked of gems. A great muli-sensory experience with a fascinating insight into London's docks, the slave trade and commercial shipping. Finishes of with a bit about the docklands

Really great place to run an event , and to visit. Look out for the Georgian water colour - fascinating!

Don't miss the model of what London Bridge looked like about 500 years ago! Read more

Vast amount of maritime history. Impossible to take it all in one visit.

Leave a lot of time to look around here.. bigger and a lot more informative than many other museums :)

Really nice, informative and well maintained museum . Can't ask more for a free entry! Worth a visit.

Really interesting & varied museum . Good mix of story, experience & artefacts.

Probably the best exhibit on slavery I’ve seen.

On the second Friday of every month you can watch a great film in their Grade 1 listed Georgian warehouse , with intros from writers, directors, critics and fans. Read more

Very nice museum , really well themed!

Housed in a historic warehouse , this excellent museum is devoted to the river and the docks. Read more

Allow 3 hours for floor one. No longer going through here will ever agree with anything written in the Daily Mail anymore

Have an NFC enabled smartphone? Unlock vouchers , learn more about London's rich history and check in on foursquare by tapping the Nokia tags around the museum .

Great family fun on themed weekends

Amazing! Very interesting if you live/work near Canary Wharf.

Free museum , great about the docklands history

You must visit this place, best of all it free as well .

Come here if you liked what you saw at the Maritime Museum but want to go more in-depth about nautical London.

Reserve more than 2 hours for your visit, otherwise you're not gonna see it all.

Café is a bit hit and miss. Awesome kids area though.

Really comprehensive collection

Used to pay to get in, but now it's free! Lots to take in, so plan your visit.

Contains an amazing model of Old London Bridge .

The ancient docklands village on the second floor is the best bit.

This place is very extensive, so give yourself more than 4 hours to explore... I'm going to have to go back as we didn't finish yesterday - got as far as the Blitz section.

Great (and FREE) museum , really interesting
