The site for Sea Lanes is located at Eden Dock, with access from Westferry Road, north of Newfoundland. We intend to submit a planning application to Tower Hamlets Council in the coming weeks for a temporary change of use.
The proposals comprise the following elements:
- A 50 metre by 12 metre, six-lane swimming pool with 1.35 metre depth set within the dock with year-round lifeguarded access
- Back of house facilities including changing rooms, sauna with glazed views, toilets, kitchen and storage in modular structures
- Front of house services including central plaza with timber structures, covered walkways, and 10 metre diameter multi-functional clubhouse dome for community events
- Visitor amenities including food and beverage with covered dome seating and pop-up units, plus viewing deck
- Restaurant and café area for approximately 150 covers
- Sustainable features including 54 cycle spaces, floating plant beds, solar panels, and no single-use plastic policy
The modular structures are designed for deconstruction and reuse, preserving the Grade I listed banana wall. Sea Lanes will operate pay-as-you-go, offering inclusive leisure and wellbeing activities. This comprehensive development will enhance Canary Wharf’s reputation as a vibrant mixed-use destination
