Overview

The London Canal Museum, located in the King’s Cross section of London, tells the often overlooked story of London’s Canals. The museum explores canals from their earliest days as important trade routes to the more leisurely pursuits they serve today. The museum is housed in a former ice warehouse once used by Carlo Gatti, which was built sometime in the mid-19th century to house ice that was imported from Norway by ship and canal barge.
