12-13 New Wharf Road, London, N1 9RT

Here you can learn about the history of London's canals and the cargoes carried, about the people who lived and worked on the waterways, and the horses that pulled their boats. You can look down into an enormous Victorian ice well used to store ice brought in from Norway. The museum is housed in a former ice warehouse built in 1862-63 for Carlo Gatti, the famous ice cream maker, and focuses on the history of the ice and ice cream trade as well as the canals.
