Overview

  • Canary Wharf Group has published detailed designs and expects to file a planning application with Tower Hamlets Council in September.
  • The lido is proposed as a fully lifeguarded, six-lane, 50m pool with a fixed 1.3m depth, plus saunas, a community clubhouse and restaurant.
  • Sea Lanes would build and operate the site, drawing on its experience running the National Open Water Swimming Centre in Brighton.
  • Developers are targeting a summer 2026 opening, subject to planning permission and the formal consultation process.
  • Set within Eden Dock’s naturally filtered water rated “Excellent” under EU bathing standards, the scheme supports Canary Wharf’s shift toward leisure and wellbeing uses.
