A Visit Of London Canal Museum

The museum was opened in 1992. It is housed in a Victorian ice warehouse that was used by Carlo Gatti. The building was constructed around 1860 to house ice imported from Norway by ship and canal barge. There are two preserved ice wells under the building, one of which may be viewed from the public area of the museum.
The museum also has the award-winning 'Bantam IV' moored. This floating exhibit, a 21ft (6m) 'pusher' tug, has been restored as an exhibit.
London Canal Museum tells the story of London's canals, their people, cargoes, and the horses which pulled their boats. In a waterside building that was once a warehouse for imported ice, we also tell the story of the ice trade and a uniquely preserved huge commercial ice well can be viewed.
A short film 'Barging through London' (1924) is having its memory and illustrates a canal worker's life on a trip from Limehouse to Paddington, is shown in the museum.
