At the Docks
Royal Docks Summer Splash 2023
Dive into family fun this summer as Royal Docks Summer Splash returns to bring you delightful dock swimming, deckchair chilling, super sandpits and much more.
From 31 July – 20 August, a large lido will be built out onto Royal Victoria Dock, complete with a shallow end for younger children for the local community to cool off for free in the warmer weather.
Join in the fun by jumping into the water, create a masterpiece in the super sandpits, relax in a deckchair and join in with free summer activities, all while immersing yourself in the fun and tranquillity at London’s historic Royal Docks.
From seeking some respite from the summer heat, helping people improve or learn to swim, through to providing families who don’t have access to a garden or outdoor space with the opportunity to enjoy the great outdoors, Royal Docks Summer Splash has been popular since it first opened in the summer of 2018.
Royal Docks Summer Splash is free and open to swimmers and sandcastle-builders of any age so don’t miss out on all the fun.
ACCESS TO THE LIDO FOR UNDER 8's
Please note children under the age of 8 must be accompanied by an adult, if using the lido. One adult required per child.
