Canary Wharf Group has unveiled proposals for a striking new 50m floating lido at Eden Dock to be designed, built and operated by the team behind Sea Lanes Brighton.

The Sea Lanes Canary Wharf scheme will deliver a six-lane natural water pool, community clubhouse, saunas and a food and drink hub as part of the latest phase in the transformation of Eden Dock.

Due to open in summer 2026 subject to planning, the lido will float on the dock with a fixed depth of 1.3m and be open for year-round use. The water, which is cut off from the Thames, is naturally filtered and consistently rated “excellent” by EU Bathing Standards.

Plans also include landscaped courtyards, fitness classes, talks, community events and a restaurant to complement the dock’s growing role as a green and blue urban oasis.

CWG will submit a planning application to Tower Hamlets in September.
