LFA 2026
Cardboard Machines
Built in 1855, the Royal Victoria Dock was London’s largest, and first, steamship dock.
Now, it’s homes to Excel London, the IFS Cable Car, open water swimming, and the DLR.
In this family focused workshop, HTA Design and Excel London invite children of all ages to explore the dockland’s history.
Who worked here? What machines were built here? What goods came in on the ships?
Children will have the chance to build their own machines, products, and ships, delving into what it meant to belong to the dockland community that worked here for generations.
