Dedicated to London's inland waterways

This original museum houses artefacts and photographs of London's inland waterways, and is housed in a former ice warehouse. It was built around 1862 for Carlo Gatti, the famous Swiss-Italian ice-cream manufacturer, and features the history of the ice trade and ice-cream as well as the canals. It's the only museum of inland waterways in the capital, and has permanent exhibitions on the River Thames and Measham pottery. Special prices for groups are available if booked in advance.
