Adding blue spaces to Newham's green spaces provides double the area of natural resources, and perhaps one of the more environmentally friendly large leisure areas London can provide.
Newham's Thames Barrier Park, is home to sailing clubs, canoeing clubs, watersports clubs, and a manufactured tropical island.
Nearby Royal Victoria Dock offers fabulous restaurants, amazing scenery and urban geography plus and an airport!
While the Docks were finally closed for shipping in 1981, the area now buzzes with business and social activity. This along with the heritage associated with what was once the busiest port in the world makes it a thriving area for work and leisure.
