"Called Sea Lanes Canary Wharf, the project will see a 50-metre freshwater swimming pool floating on top of the Thames. Measuring 1.3 metres deep, the Olympic-sized pool at Sea Lanes Canary Wharf will feature six swimming lanes. With ramped access to the site and lifeguards keeping an eye on you, the lido will cater to all ages and capabilities, from casual dippers to serious cold-water swimmers."
"Worried about the Thames' smelly rep? Fear not. The pool floats on the dock, so you won't actually be swimming in London's famous central waterway. Instead, the pool will be filled with naturally filtered freshwater, completely cut off from the river. The team say the water quality at Eden Dock will be regularly tested in line with EU Bathing Standards. In fact, since July 2024 the dock's water has consistently been rated 'excellent'."
Eden Dock in Canary Wharf will host Sea Lanes Canary Wharf, a floating 50-metre freshwater lido atop the Thames separated from river water. The pool will be 1.3 metres deep with six swimming lanes, ramped access and lifeguards to serve casual dippers and serious cold-water swimmers. Two glass-fronted saunas powered entirely by renewable energy will overlook the dock. A community clubhouse will offer food, drinks, wellness events and a wetsuit concierge service. The pool will be filled with naturally filtered freshwater and tested to EU Bathing Standards; Eden Dock's water has been rated 'excellent' since July 2024. Opening is planned for June with membership and pay-per-swim options.
