About
The London Canal Museum tells the colourful story of the capital’s canals.
Find out about the people who earned a meagre living afloat, the horses that pulled canal boats and carts on the roads, the tradition of painting flowers and castles, and the history and engineering of canals in London.
Explore a recreated stable and the Horse Power exhibition to learn learn about the boats and cargoes they carried. Discover the amazing Victorian trade in natural ice, see archive film, temporary exhibitions, costume, "roses and castles" art, and take part in family activities.
There are tunnel boat trips on selected dates. Plus, download free audio tours of the canal walk from Camden, and of the museum, from the website.
