London Museum Docklands highlights tour

Join our guide for a tour around the very best bits of London Museum Docklands.

This tour covers the history of London’s docks, the East End and the people who have lived and worked here for over two centuries.

Walking through the historic building that holds our museum, you'll discover how unused marshland nearby was transformed into the towering Canary Wharf.

Your guide will take you through the grim details of working on the docks, the ins and outs of the "sailortowns" and the heroic efforts of those defending the docks during the war – and much more.
