Canada Dock Boardwalk opens
November 2024
The new Asif Khan Studio-designed Canada Dock Boardwalk that winds through London’s historic Canada Dock was unveiled on Saturday to the sights and sounds of a joyous carnival procession and party.
The 170m steel-frame bridge, with its distinctive timber fins, is part of British Land’s Canada Water Masterplan project — a joint venture with AustralianSuper to redevelop 53 acres of Rotherhithe into a new, mixed-use urban centre.
Whitby Wood associate Gioele Nunziatini, who has seen the project through to completion, was elated: “It was so rewarding to see the bridge being used by the local community”.
