Thème super intéressant avec plein d'informations et d'images d'archives. Le problème : le musée a axé l'essentiel de sa communication sur l'accessibilité aux enfants pour faire venir plus de monde. Résultat, le musée est une immense cours de récréation ou on entend crier, pleurer, taper dans tout les sens et c'est juste infernal. Il y a trop de jeux pour un musée sur un thème trop pointu. Aucun enfant ne devrait venir car c'est un MUSÉE et pas une COURS DE RÉCRÉATION. Les parents ne lisent même pas les panneaux, c'est juste la garderie. Je n'ai pas réussi à finir le deuxième étage car je n'arrivais plus à me concentrer. J'étais la en été, peut etre pas la bonne période, si c'est votre cas, fuyez pauvres fous.

I had a great time at this informative and small museum. You'll learn about the history of the canals and ice business, and with it, have some insights in life in London in the past. There are several activities for kids as well. Definitely pre-book the boat tour together with your museum ticket; it is interesting, relaxing and a beautiful trip. The volunteers running this museum are so kind and knowledgable. Thank you.

A lovely little museum which is full of history. It’s cheap too and you can buy tickets upon entry.
