After its popularity earlier this year, we’re bringing back the historic Thames Sailing Barge Will, a 100-year-old boat that has sailed the Thames throughout its life. Join us during a weekend of drop-in conversations about our design principles and early design ideas for the Floating Residential project.
The boat will be moored on the southern edge of Royal Victoria Dock West, next to Britannia Village at approximately E16 2SF, on 10 and 11 October (open 11am-4pm).
What is happening at the Community Drop-ins?
Building on our visioning work earlier this year, we want your help to understand which initial ideas provide most for the community and what are the top priorities for community facilities. There will be project information boards, lots of post-it notes and space for conversations about the past and future of the docks. You are welcome to pop by at any point 11am-4pm on Saturday 10 or Sunday 11 October.
What ‘walk-around’ workshop is happening on Sunday?
“Fair and inclusive dock access” – on Sunday 11 October 12 noon to 1pm, our architects from Haptic will be hosting a walk around the local area to help us understand priorities for fair and safe access to the water. The walk will start at SB Will, which will be moored at Royal Victoria Dock at approximately E16 1SF. There is no need to book, but if you have any questions in advance, please let us know on rvdw@royaldockswaterways.com.
