Canada Water is undergoing a transformation this summer with the launch of the Round The Dock event series. The initiative aims to provide six weeks of free entertainment along the waterfront, including live music performances, an outdoor cinema, and a variety of markets. The event is designed to encourage Londoners to engage with the city's waterways.
Entertainment and Activities
The programme features a diverse range of activities, from jazz and Latin dancing to pub quizzes and poetry nights. All events are free to attend and do not require tickets. Scheduled performers include Norman Jay MBE, who will play a set on August 16, and the Afro-Punk band Steam Down, who will perform throughout August. The series also includes six independent markets, family-friendly activities such as arts and crafts workshops, and street food vendors.

Research and Support
The Round The Dock event is informed by research commissioned by British Land, which indicates significant public support for utilising London's waterways for cultural events. According to the research, 88 per cent of Londoners believe the capital should make greater use of its rivers, docks, and waterways for free cultural activities. Furthermore, 53 per cent of those surveyed identified waterside locations as preferred summer destinations. The research also highlighted specific interests, with 38 per cent favouring open-air cinemas and 34 per cent supporting free live music.
