This history exhibition highlights London`s riverfront development through time in an engaging manner. Focusing on younger visitors, it tracks locales along the waterway from the Roman period onwards. An especially intriguing component brings to life a reconstructed Victorian port with impressive precision of detail. While a bit farther out from central London, the roughly 20 minute trip to East London proves worthwhile. Complimentary on-site dining options are also made available. (For additional sights exploring London`s story, check out the highly praised Museum of London.))
