Join us at the "ice cream museum"!

Join us for ice cream! They sell this in tubs, not made on site unfortunately. This is the same meetup as the exhibition about historic canal building, but that doesn't stop us from indulging in a sweet treat!

Free museum entry just this Saturday! (attendance fee applies)

"Peer down into the unique heritage of a huge Victorian ice well used to store ice imported from Norway and brought by ship and canal boat to be stored. This unique waterways museum is housed in a former ice warehouse built in about 1862-3 for Carlo Gatti, the famous ice cream maker, and features the history of the ice trade and ice cream as well as the canals.

There are two themes at London Canal Museum. London's canals have a fascinating past and you will learn not only how they came to be built but about the lives of the workers, the cargoes, horses and how canals work. We are a waterways museum first and foremost, but also an industrial museum telling the story of the ice industry in London. It is the only London museum of inland waterways. "
