A museum in a Georgian sugar warehouse on West India Quay chronicling the history of London's port and river. Displays trace the Thames from Roman trade through the docks' industrial peak to their regeneration as Canary Wharf. A powerful gallery confronts the capital's role in the transatlantic slave trade and the wealth it generated. Reconstructed dockside streets, ship models and archaeological finds bring maritime commerce to life within a rare surviving enclosed dock warehouse.
