Went to visit the museum and found a special "Fashion City" Exhibition was available for a small charge, so while sat having a coffee I went.online and booked two tickets as the price online is less than if you buy while there. The tickets appeared attached to email within the minute. Lockers for coats and bags are available for a non returnable £1 so if you want to use them make sure you've a pound coin handy. The exhibition itself was very well laid out and interesting, with plenty of exhibits to complement the information. Now, we'll have to revisit to see the actual Docklands part of the museum which I'm also looking forward to and which is free entry, though donations are welcome. Plenty of places nearby for lunch/dinner too. Docklands is easily a days-worth of visiting time if you like to just stroll.

I've just visited this museum today and it went ABOVE AND BEYOND any of my expectations! The history trail starts on floor 3 and as you read, watch, and explore, you make your way down to the ground floor. The explanations about the history of the London docklands are excellent, my compliments to the curators of this incredible museum. It touches on everything about London's naval history, from the discovery of the Indies to the slave trade of the British Empire, all the way to World War II. Well worth a read in order to understand the history and learn from it. The museum is also full of fun facts and infographics for kids so that it's not just a boring museum (I spotted loads of cheeky toy mice around the exhibits) and there are activities and pamphlets that make it interactive. I also loved the reconstruction of a market near the docklands, it's so immersive and beautiful, it feels like a jump back in time. There's a coffee shop on the ground level for any snacking you need, as it takes at least 2 hours to go through (if you want to read). The building is a beautiful warehouse and even the history of that is explained in the beginning. It's free so that's a +1 in my book, and I didn't need to book at all, you can just walk in and look around.

Loved it! It was worth the train ride to East London. Small, yet packed with great detailed exhibits and history. Great for the kids too if you happen to visit on the weekends, they normally have an event they can participate in.

Amazing museum, especially for being free entry! Three very large floors of exhibits about the Docklands with tons of artifacts, multimedia storytelling, and in-depth context on everything. I could have easily spent a whole day here, so I limited myself to “only” two hours.

Amazing visit to this museum. We didn’t allow enough time for our visit as we did not realise how great this place would be. Allow at least a couple of hours to wander this very unique and interesting museum. First class exhibits and information throughout the museum. Great location too with plenty of bars and restaurants nearby.
