Museum of London Docklands: our port and river collection is displayed at the Museum of London Docklands in a 200-year-old warehouse located close to the river Thames. From Roman settlement to the development of Canary Wharf, the long history of the capital as a port is revealed through stories of trade, migration and commerce.
