London Museum Docklands

The Museum of London Docklands occupies a former warehouse near Canary Wharf and presents the history of London's docks and trade. Its exhibitions cover trade, war, and port development along the Thames, and also address the history of the slave trade. The museum is larger than expected, and reading the displays closely shows both London's past and its future direction. The exhibits are dense, so viewing them requires time for reading rather than a quick walk-through.
