Exhibition

Over the past few weeks, local residents have been learning about the maritime traditions of the Royal Docks, and now their creative responses are brought together in this special community exhibition. The show features a vibrant collection of artworks, all inspired by archival photos and personal stories. Join us to celebrate our shared heritage and experience the living history of the docks through the eyes of its community.
