About this Event

A meander along the northern edge of Royal Albert Dock, led by architect and artist Anna Gibb. Along the route, we will explore the fascinating past, present and possible future for the Royal Docks, accompanied by some unique illustrations to enliven the story.


This large body of water, once part of the largest enclosed docks in the world, offers the opportunity to really embrace a sense of open space. The tour offers an insight into the unique history of industry, entrepreneurship, politics and people who’ve shaped the area.

Running in parallel to the DLR, the walk is just under 3 miles and should take around 2 hours.


All participants will be gifted a unique illustrated guide.
