Lonely Planet review

This quirky but very worthwhile museum is housed in an old ice warehouse (with a deep well where the frozen commodity was stored) dating from the 1860s and traces the history of Regent's Canal, the ice business and the development of ice cream through models, photographs, exhibits and archive documentaries. The ice trade was huge in late Victorian London, and 35,000 tonnes of it were imported from Norway in 1899.
