I wish such places would provide "Adult Only" days/times for those that like to read about the displays without the distraction of hi-viz clad tiny people, and disinterested teens. An always enjoyable museum, although I admit to having got 'lost' inside during a number of visits!

Many museums these days have Friday evening adult only sessions, usually with (unintrusive) music and drinks available.

My children are now 25, 23 and 22 and so must have been among the earliest children to regularly frequent Mudlarks. It was such a great asset to have nearby in the days when leaving the house was a logistical challenge. I am very much looking forward to the exhibition about Jewish fashion companies and designers which is due to come to the museum in October.

Always enjoyed this museum

I've never been but I've always heard about it. I've been to the Museum of London that was in Barbican before it shut down, but after reading this I think I'll be visiting the Docklands one too.

The Executions exhibition was superb. Always enjoy their exhibitions.

This used to be called the Museum in Docklands* but likely hardly anyone got that awkward name right so they gave up and called it something more trip-off-the-tongue and sensible (see also ZSL London Zoo, St Katharine Docks).
* presumably the Docklands branch of the Museum of London |

This is a great museum. Pity about the statue. I think it is the spineless borough that moved it. For a while there was a woke abomination on the pedestal but now it looks more serene.

We're reasonably regular visitors for Mudlarks - a rare example of a free kids' activity, though they've now introduced a £2.50 per person charge, which is still a bargain. A mere mention of it brings their bespoke 'tidy up' song back as an earworm.
We'll sometimes but not always combine it with a wander round some of the rest of the museum - but usually the Sainbury's archive, which usually has a little play shop stationed outside. |

turns out you don't need a child to enjoy the 'tidy up' sea shanty.
