Events

While we don't actually organise events ourselves there are always lots of things going on, usually organised by the Port of London. View details of events on the Port of London website.

Surrey Docks Water Sports Centre

Surrey Docks Water Sports Centre is situated next to South Dock in Greenland Dock. The centre runs a wide range of water sports courses for kids and adults, including sailing, canoeing and windsurfing. They also organise one of the Thames' most unusual sporting events, the Dragon Boat race. All tutors are fully qualified.

Find out more about the Water Sports Centre on the Fusion Lifestyle website.  

Tideway Sailability

The Tideway Sailability club was set up in 1982 by a group of disabled people who were keen on sailing. It is now a friendly community of sailors of all ages, both with and without disabilities. We sail every Thursday and Sunday throughout the year on Greenland dock. The club is a great way to enjoy sailing and you can learn as a beginner or help others with the skills you have learned.

If you are fully employed it will cost you £52 to join and £26 if you are not. For families and groups the cost is £64 and all memberships last for a year. Carers sail for free! Please contact us using the details below for more information.

The club is open to people with and without disabilities. All of their boats are accessible to people with disabilities using our Oxford Dipper Poolside Hoist. We have the following boats available:

• Three safety boats, 2 of which are wheelchair accessible
• Six Access 303s, two person dinghies especially designed for mobility impaired people
• One Access Sport, a single handed dinghy. One of these is sailed in Australia by a quadriplegic ventilated man. 
• Two Wayfarers
• One Topper
• One Roamer, a comfortable boat for several people
• One Hawk 20, a very stable large day boat that's suitable for trips on the Thames
