The City of London will be host to a spectacular historic parade of Thames Sailing Barges, recreating scenes from London’s days as a bustling trading port.

The majestic sailing barges will set off from the Docklands / Canary Wharf area. They then hope to proceed in strict formation through the raised bascules of Tower Bridge into the Upper Pool, before lining up and setting sail (conditions permitting) for West India Dock.

On the Sunday 10am - 6pm

West India Dock will become a Popup Museum, open free to the public.

Shoreside activities at West India Dock include full access to the partaking barges so the public can learn of the barges history as well as meet, mingle, eat, wine and dine with barge owners, crew members, sponsors, donors, publicists and historians.
