London Canal Museum
Formerly a Victorian ice warehouse for ice-cream maker Carlo Gatti, the London Canal Museum houses an excellent display on the history of London's canals and also the history of ice-cream making. Working in association with the London Canal Museum, we often take school parties and other groups on Narrowboat trips down to the museum.
