Museum of London Docklands

800200No East London

The Museum of London Docklands is a venue with deep roots in the past, yet views of the futuristic Canary Wharf skyline envelop it in stunning panorama. Built in 1802, the Georgian warehouse which houses the museum is Canary Wharf’s only Grade I listed building. It’s an atmospheric and historic setting for an event, standing in breath-taking juxtaposition to the contemporary backdrop of London’s financial district.

This unique venue, where contemporary fittings mingle with original Caribbean pitch pine columns and floors, offers exceptional opportunities for events such as dinners, receptions, weddings, meetings and conferences.
