Museum of London - Secret Rivers is now open

Be the first to see Secret Rivers Museum of London Docklands For centuries, London built itself around the waterways that fed into the Thames. This relationship between these rivers and the people of London is the subject of Secret Rivers, our latest free exhibition at Museum of London Docklands. Previously unseen artefacts and excavations show the industrial, economic and religious significance of some of London's waterways. Historic and contemporary work of artists, poets and authors will help frame how London's rivers have played on the city's imaginations. Secret Rivers is a free exhibition so why not factor it into a great day out round London's historic Docklands?
