Lots of reading, nice museum, give yourself a couple of hours. I attended one of the talks on how Londoners sheltered from bombing raids in WWII this was excellent, its amazing, you think you have a reasonable grasp of something and find so many holes in your knowledge. The staff all seemed very engaged and enthusiastic.

Loved it! It was worth the train ride to East London. Small, yet packed with great detailed exhibits and history. Great for the kids too if you happen to visit on the weekends, they normally have an event they can participate in.

An excellent and really eye-opening experience into the development of Isle of Dogs / Canary Wharf and London Docklands area. A thoroughly interesting and impressive Museum across 3 floors with interactive elements and really knowledgeable staff.We joined one of the talks on the afternoon we visited, and Andrew the guide, who spoke for 15-20 about the South Sea Whaling Trade in London was superb, really clearly spoken and very engaging to listen too. High recommend trying to catch one of the short talks.Great accessibility measures around the museum - lifts, braille signs, and fold-out portable chairs that were greatly appreciated.The museum is brilliantly curated and flowed really nicely from one subject to the other. Highly recommend, and as already mentioned, a really impressive, interesting and eye-opening experience into London Docklands’ history.

Really excellent history of London Docklands. Learned a lot - fascinating information about the slave trade. Video on the bombing of the docks during the 2nd World War and related exhibition really good.

I visited the Museum of London Docklands for the first time, and it was amazing! The museum is full of fascinating information about the local history, such as the development of the Isle of Dogs, Canary Wharf and the London Docklands area.The staff were kind and welcoming. I was pleasantly surprised by how big the museum is, and there's so much to explore. I highly recommend it to anyone who loves history or just wants to have a great time.

Frankly, I wasn't expecting much from this museum. Just went for a walk but I was fairly surprised with the interesting history of the docklands. The entrance is free. The display of history, the replicas of streets etc are fantastic!

Okay! You don't need tickets to get in, only if you want to go to the soft play area. It's a lovely museum and my kids LOVED! There is so much to do in such a small soft play, but the session is not too busy. By the way SUPER RECOMMEND for neurodiverse children, honestly.

Amazing visit to this museum. We didn’t allow enough time for our visit as we did not realise how great this place would be. Allow at least a couple of hours to wander this very unique and interesting museum. First class exhibits and information throughout the museum. Great location too with plenty of bars and restaurants nearby.
