Canary Wharf open-air dock swimming returns this summer

To swim in the dock you’ll need to purchase a NOWCA membership for £15 per year with  sessions costing £9 per swim, or take part in regular free events offered to NOWCA members.

More information can be found here.

A forthcoming post will look at how the overall middle dock work is shaping up.
