Community
Connection and community is at the heart of Dockside Canada Water
From day one, we've been working closely with the local community to ensure that Dockside benefits everyone.
We have forged strong connections, and this work continues. At Dockside, you can be part of a fantastic community and contribute to it in a meaningful way.

From the outset, it has been our ambition to learn all we can about the area, to understand local needs and aspirations, and to build lasting relationships with the community that has warmly welcomed us.
Tapping into local knowledge and networks has helped shape what we are building, and we have looked for opportunities to support everything from health & wellbeing to biodiversity, as well as creating employment opportunities for local people.
We’re linking these buildings into their local context and offering businesses an opportunity to really connect with the community and the place.
Health & Wellbeing Fund
Our Health & Wellbeing Fund was set up in partnership with Decathlon UK in 2022 to support grassroots organisations in Canada Water and Rotherhithe.
Now in its third year, the fund will provide £200,000 over a five year period. The goal is to encourage participation in sport and play for people of all ages.

Meaningful engagement
The community at Canada Water is one of its best features. We have worked closely with local groups and we continue to do so. This is vitally important.
From the designs for the dock edge to the amenities at street level, to the meanwhile uses that will be popping up while we build - everything is being done with the input, involvement and cooperation of the local community.
Planning & consultations
Background on our planning applications to date.
We secured outline planning permission for the masterplan in March 2022 and detailed permission for the dock edge and One and Two Dockside in September 2023. We look forward to continuing to work with local people on our vision for the future of Dockside.
