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 for free.

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. The museum also tells the story of goods which were carried on the canals, including ice, the storage of which was the primary purpose of our building.

While entry will be completely free, any visitor who feels they are in a position to support the museum is welcome to make a donation, of any amount, on the day.

Saturday 28 March, all day
12/13 New Wharf Rd, London N1 9RT
