What's On
London's canals and waterways have long been the lifeblood of the city - helping it grow and trade, and more recently becoming a haven for wildlife and somewhere that everyone can enjoy. On Saturday, 28th March, the London Canal Museum is inviting everyone to explore this history free of charge.
Located in a Victorian icehouse, the museum tells the story of London's canals- how they've shaped London's development, the ordinary people who lived and worked on them, and the entrepreneurs, engineers, and navvies who built them. We also tell the story of goods that were carried on the canals, including ice, the storage of which was the primary purpose of our building.
As an independent charity that receives no public funding, we usually rely on our entry fee to keep the doors open (£7.50 standard entry for adults). However, we believe that London's rich waterways history should be accessible to everyone in our community, regardless of their circumstances.
We encourage local residents to come and learn about a unique part of London that is often hidden from view. On 28th March only all visitors will be welcomed free of charge. There is no requirement to be a local resident.
Open 1000-1630 as usual
