History starts here

Join us at London Museum Docklands, where interactive exhibits, fascinating artefacts and family-friendly displays bring more than 400 years of London's rich maritime history to life. 

Bring little explorers along from 22nd July to 31st August for The Big Dig, an archaeological adventure that will see them dig down through the trenches and uncover real treasures made and used centuries ago. 

Visiting with older ones in tow? Explore free galleries covering everything from London's overlooked role in the transatlantic slave trade and life in Sailortown to the city's place as the Warehouse of the World and its experiences during the Second World War.

Feasts for the whole family

All that exploration calls for a feast, so sit back and enjoy a tasty meal in the sun at one of our many waterside restaurants. If you’re after an authentic taste of Italy, Pizza Pilgrims always delivers. Enjoy freshly made, slow-risen pizzas on the terrace before exploring the Pizza Playground, full of arcade machines, retro board games, foosball, and more.

Clawing for something a little different? Join us at Burger & Lobster for juicy stacks, iconic lobster rolls and classic combos, or enjoy al fresco feasts at The Munich Cricket Club, where schnitzels, pretzels and German classics offer the perfect mid-day refuel.

Browns Brasserie & Bar has also reopened, serving the same iconic dishes in a stylish new setting. Whether you’re celebrating with an all-British afternoon tea or planning a sophisticated feast for the whole gang, it’s a must-visit this July.
