Visit to the London Museum Docklands.

Another day, another museum. This was a good choice, to meet a friend and go somewhere interesting. It's at Canary Wharf, worth a visit in itself especially if you think you've seen high-rises before! It makes you dizzy just looking up at them. The museum is definitely worth the trip - a full history of an area which has seen the rise of imports, money-making on a massive scale for the few, but also poverty, slavery, dreadful living conditions, disease etc.

The extras - a "hydraulic jigger" and a massive sieve for cleaning beans, seeds etc.
