"Now, there are plans to create a huge new floating hub on the docks. Plans for Royal Victoria Dock West, drawn up by Royal Docks Waterways, envision it as 'a distinctive new water-based destination'. It would take up a 12-hectare stretch of water and include creating new floating homes, a floating park and a floating wellness centre with a lido, sauna and spa experiences alongside free water access and open water swimming."
"As for the floating wellness hub, the centrepiece will be a lido. That will either be one heated 25m-long pool or two pools - one smaller pool heated to a higher temperature and one 25m at a lower temperature for lane swimmers. Around that pool, there would be amenities that could include a spa/sauna, wellness provision and food and drink providers."
Sadiq Khan pledged £2bn over five years to revive the Royal Docks, including new high street development and City Hall relocation. Plans for Royal Victoria Dock West propose a 12-hectare floating hub with floating homes, a biodiverse floating park, and a floating wellness centre offering a lido, sauna, spa experiences, and open-water access. Park designs include planting, art installations, event programming, and space for cafes and pop-ups. Residential moorings and floating homes would create a new waterside community. Royal Docks Waterways is consulting local stakeholders and residents before developing proposals and phasing construction.
