Canary Wharf Group has proposed a floating, natural water lido on Eden Dock opposite the Canary Wharf Tube entrance, developed by Sea Lanes. The fully lifeguarded six-lane pool will float in the dock with a fixed depth of 1.3 metres and benefit from natural filtration because the dock is cut off from the River Thames. The complex would include saunas, a community clubhouse, fitness classes and restaurants and is targeted to open in summer 2026 subject to planning permission. The plans were published ahead of submission to Tower Hamlets council and are promoted as a unique wellness destination. The Independent solicits donations to fund reporters and keeps its journalism free of paywalls.
Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging. At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The natural water lido is planned to be built on the Eden Dock, opposite the main entrance to Canary Wharf's Tube station, by Sea Lanes, the team behind the UK's first National Open Water Swimming Centre in Brighton. The complex would also boast saunas, a community clubhouse, fitness classes and restaurants. The complex is due to open in summer 2026, subject to planning permission.
