London Canal Museum, Transport museum in Kings Cross, United Kingdom.
The London Canal Museum displays two large underground ice wells and exhibits about the development of waterways through detailed industrial artifacts and models.
The building, constructed in 1862 as an ice warehouse by Carlo Gatti, served as a storage facility for Norwegian ice imports during Victorian times.
The museum exhibits demonstrate the daily routines of canal workers who lived in narrowboats, including their traditions, tools, and living conditions.
Located near Kings Cross station, the museum opens Tuesday through Sunday from 10:00 AM to 4:30 PM and provides full wheelchair accessibility.
Visitors can explore an authentic Victorian ice well, view a narrowboat cabin interior, and learn about the connection between canal transport and ice cream production.
