Would highly recommend this museum. It is well set out with plenty of room. It is buggy and wheelchair friendly. The staff were very helpful and friendly. There is a nice coffee shop in there which we used half way through. We were in the museum for 3 hours but could have stayed longer. Will definitely return. more

At last I managed to get to this museum - having had it on my list of attractions to 'get too' for some time! - So glad I did as we spent most of the afternoon wondering around the Museum of Slavery which we found incredibly moving and most informative, The afternoon we were there (2/6/09) there was an artist... more

Housed in an old warehouse a short walk from the Canary Wharf station on the DLR (Docklands Light Railway) this is a super museum. You start on the third floor with the earliest history of the settlement of London and work forward in time as you descend through the building, through the WWII bombing of the docks and the strikes... more

I'm pretty mean with my star ratings and very critical, so 5 stars from me really means something! The staff are warm, helpful, friendly and humorous. The museum is extremely user-friendly: there is a FREE cloakroom you can leave bags and coats, plenty of CLEAN toilets, a LIFT, and even a cold mineral water dispenser, from which you can fill... more

My husband was the one that wanted to go here and it sounded okay. But it was a very well done museum that told the history of the docks/port of London, which is a large part of the history of London. Really very interesting starting around 100 BC up to current day. Spent about 2 hours and could have spent... more

Recently spent a good three hours in this museum after taking one of the London Walks. Was pleasantly surprised at the many intriguing items on display as well as the re-creations of the Sailors Village and the WWII air raid shelter. Due to sensory overload, it's a good idea to take a break in the coffee shop half-way through. Highly... more

What can I say? WHAT A BRILLIANT MUSEUM.I recommend it to all of you.Went the other day. It was after 4.30 and it's free most days from 4.30 till 6.00 so that was pretty cool.
