At the Docks 2025
At the Docks is back! Visit the Royal Docks this summer for an unmissable programme of arts and culture, waterside activities and family-friendly events.
Take a dip in the docks, revel in live music performances or simply relax in a deckchair and enjoy the view. There’s a bumper line-up to suit everyone.
We will also be returning with Summer Splash, a free lido on the docks, right next to City Hall. Enjoy free swimming, sandpits and fun activities for all the family.
- Explore new artwork by photographer Hélène Amouzou on The Line public art trail
- Swim in the historical London Royal Docks for the 10th anniversary of Dock2Dock
- See world-class electronic music DJs at open-air venue Silverworks Island
- Discover a new world of immersive experiences, including Elvis Evolution and Tutankhamun: The Immerse Exhibition
The majority of events are free while others require tickets, so make sure to check individual listings and book early to avoid missing out.
We can’t wait to see you there!
