Summer Splash on its way to the Royal Docks

A temporary lido on east London's Royal Docks is due to open on July 23rd. Summer Splash, at the Royal Docks close to City Hall, is a free-to-use pool penned into the docks using floating platforms, and is fully staffed with lifeguards. For young families, there are kids' lessons and sandpits, while older swimmers might want to take advantage of a 'lates' DJ series, and a wood-fired Sweheat sauna. It is part of At the Docks, a full programme of arts and events, including A State of Trance music festival, and two days of free outdoor circus, dance, physical theatre and street art.
