London Canal Museum Details
London Canal Museum tells the story of London's canals in a building constructed in the 1860s as an ice warehouse. Two large ice storage wells are preserved underground. The museum is on two floors and is open six days per week. The exhibitions cover the topics of canal life, the ice trade, lifting and handling, canal arts and crafts, water and locks (canal engineering), horses and their role on the streets and towpaths, the Regent's Canal and its history. The museum offers an attractive venue for private functions and hosts a variety of conferences, awards ceremonies, business receptions, launches and also small meetings for committees, training etc. Private events are also hosted such as wedding receptions and birthday parties. The fact that guests can be brought to the venue by boat is a strong attraction, as is the opportunity to hold events amongst the exhibits and dine beneath a fine Victorian timber roof. The museum holds the Sandford Award for its education service, which provides a wide variety of learning opportunities for school groups and families. The resources of the museum are used to teach subjects as diverse as mathematics and science as well as history.
