CRUISE GUIDE
The Regent’s Canal begins beneath
an elegant road bridge, beyond
which a line of moorings brings you to
Maida Hill Tunnel, soon followed by
another shorter tunnel at Lisson Grove
Housed in a Victorian
former ice warehouse,
the museum tells the
story of London’s canals
and the boats, people
and cargoes that they
carried. Climb into a
working boat cabin,
discover London’s lost
canals, see a display
of horse-boating, and
find out about the ice
trade which was the
reason for the building’s
existence.
