Wildlife on London's Canals

London's canals are a green corridor teeming with wildlife from insects to birds of prey. This exhibition sheds light on some of the various species that call our urban canals home. Until late 2023. No additional charge. See our Temporary Exhibitions page for more detail.

Online Exhibitions

• Angel Canal Festival Over The Years An online exhibition of pictures that capture the joy of the annual festival over the years. Unhappily there was no festival in 2020. Enjoy some nostalic views of past festivals.
• Until date to be announced Industrial IslingtonThis exhibition is now online only. An exhibition about the canal's industrial past in the London Borough of Islington. The focus is on the industry but also the people who lived and worked and played beside the waterway.
