Canary Wharf's only Grade 1 listed venue

The Museum in Docklands traces the 2000 year history of London's river, port and people, a storyline stretching from the arrival of the Romans to the rise of Canary Wharf. Located over five floors of a splendid late Georgian warehouse, the Museum is Canary Wharf's only Grade 1 listed venue.

Built in 1802, the warehouse which is home to Museum in Docklands was originally used to store vast quantities of rum, molasses, coffee, pimento and cotton from the West India slave plantations. Today it offers a distinctive backdrop for entertaining with original pine columns and floors juxtaposed stylishly with contemporary fittings.

Facilities by day include a state of the art lecture theatre as well as two restored function rooms with quayside views. By night, guests can enjoy receptions and seated dining in one or more of the Museum's twelve galleries. These include Sailortown, an immersive recreation of the streets, lanes and alleys backing the docks in the 1840s. The Museum can accommodate up to 800 guests when booked exclusively.
