Location

Directions

Love Open Water London Royals Dock site is based at the west end of Royal Victoria Dock. Look for the pontoon opposite the City Hall Building – entrance is at the gate onto the pontoon.  We have banners on the fencing by the gate and the pontoon is covered with green astro turf.

The closest station is Royal Victoria on the DLR and is only a few minutes walk. You can also reach us by the Emirates Skyline – the terminal is 100m from the entrance gate.

There is very limited parking in the area.  Check the JustPark app for private spaces in Brittania Village which is a short walk from the venue.  There is also some paid parking on Dock Road though this can be busy during the week.  Currently this is free on Sundays.
