Summary

[edit]
Description
English: A visit to the London Canal Museum. It is on New Wharf Road, near King's Cross (in the London Borough of Islington).

London Canal Museum in Gatti's Ice House at King's Cross.

At the back of the museum is the Battlebridge Basin

If you prebook with the museum, you can take a trip on a narrowboat on the Regent's Canal.

The basin was constructed in 1820 at the same time as the second half of the canal from Camden Town to Limehouse, though the wharf buildings were not completed until 1822. It was originally known as Horsfall Basin after the original landowner, and later as Maiden Lane Basin. Its current name comes from the former name for the King's Cross area, named after an ancient bridge over the River Fleet.

The canal museum buildings were used in the second half of the 19th century and early 20th century for the storage of ice from Norway and its distribution to the surrounding area.

The narrowboat Tarporley No 182, starts off from near the museum. I later saw it departing and had to go downstairs to get some more photos and a couple of videos of it!
