Docks, Deals and Dissent

The Museum of London Docklands offers a fascinating glimpse into the city’s maritime and trading past. Housed in a beautifully restored 200-year-old warehouse in Canary Wharf, the museum traces the story of the River Thames, the docks, and the people who lived and worked along the waterfront. Visitors can wander through atmospheric recreations like "Sailortown," explore London’s role in the transatlantic slave trade, and discover the global connections that shaped the capital. With interactive displays and hands-on exhibits, it’s ideal for families and history lovers alike. The museum also features special exhibitions, such as those on mudlarking and wartime London. Best of all, entry is free. After exploring, you can enjoy a coffee in the café while taking in views of the modern Docklands. A visit here reveals the gritty, resilient soul of London’s river-bound heritage

The Best of London in One Night

Some places perform history. London lives it. Step into a world where the past and present meet in verse and spotlight. On the South Bank, Shakespeare’s Globe hums with poetic energy—while across the river, the West End’s velvet curtains rise nightly on global sensations. This route through London’s theatrical soul takes you from riverside stages to candlelit bars, from cobblestones once trodden by poets to the glowing signs of Soho’s late-night world
