Just back in after a couple of hours through at Canary Wharf, we went to the Museum of Docklands which was a lot of fun for the kids, they got to learn about what the landscape looked like before the financial giants transformed the area.
They had great fun playing in mudlarks the play area at the museum.

We also had to pop into Canary Wharf Mall to pick up a few essentials and had the unfortunate luck of running into a Wharfite and a mini-wharfite who demonstrated a level of ignorance I wouldn't have thought possible. Whilst waiting for the elevator to go to the Jubilee line, Wharfite and his (I'm guessing 8 year old son) were behind us and as the elevator approached, stepped over the buggy to go in first! My two year old and soon to be four year old son know the concept of waiting your turn so these two surely should know the error of their ways, but no, not even an apology. In fact they seemed quite annoyed that I should share to elevator with them, what bugs me most is that they could have easily gone down the stairs!
When I am out and about I try to teach my sons the importance of manners, I worry when the experience things like this, as I don't want them thinking that behaviour is acceptable, so whilst in the elevator I explained to both my kids that what happened was extremely rude and that I don't want them doing anything like that. The Wharfite just uttered something in French and stormed out the lift - manners!
Anyways would highly recommend the museum for an afternoon out it is one of many free London museums!
Take care
