Museum of London Docklands
Description
Located in former dock buildings in West India Quay the museum charts the history of the docks and docklands and the role they played in the history of London. There is a major exhibition across much of the main floor that shows just how complicit London was in the evils of the slave trade, and the wealth that some city merchants were able to amass on the back of such inhumanity. The museum also houses recreations of what the docks areas would have been like in the Victorian era and then moves onto the closure and eventual regeneration of the docks from a centre of shipping to a centre of finance.
