Accessibility for deaf and hearing-impaired visitors

Visit

London Canal Museum is well suited to the hearing impaired visitor. You will be able to enjoy the great majority of what the museum has to offer.

Our Exhibitions

Most of our exhibitions are visual and use text and pictures to explain the fascinating story of the canal system, and to interpret the items on display.

Archive film is shown, entitled "Barging Through London", depicting a canal journey in 1924. This film was made for the silent cinema and the sound track is only music.

An accompanying film "The Regent's Canal" was made in the early 1990s and has a commentary. Unfortunately no transcript of this is available.

The interactive "Talking Head" of Carlo Gatti is not yet available as a transcript

There are no other audio exhibits at present.

Transcripts

Transcripts are available for:

Induction Loop

An induction loop is permanently installed at the combined reception and shop desk, located close to the main entrance. The microphone is fitted to the side of the computer monitor so please stand in that area to talk to staff, so that the microphone picks up their voice.

Assistance Dogs

Assistance dogs are welcome. Please do not bring pet animals
