Water Pavilions

Key Details

Overview

Water Pavilions are two pavilions on the water between 8 Water Street and 20/25 Churchill Place buildings in Wood Wharf, London E14.

The London Project Canary Wharf on Water Square will deliver a dining experience like no other. With art, music, food and even an in-house gin distillery, guests will be guided through an unforgettable journey of the senses.

The multi-levelled floating buildings are linked via a series of boardwalks and fitted with fixed seating areas and aquatic planting. The symbiotic pavilion structures are designed by renowned architects Glenn Howells Architects (GHA) and detailed with steel and glass, open-end balconies, and outward-facing benches overlooking the water, so visitors can comfortably settle and watch the world drift by.

Made from sustainably sourced timber decking and aluminium extracted from hydro sources, the fully floating pavilion will have a green roof planted with wildflowers and grasses, to encourage visits from insects and bees. It will be mainly powered by energy from Canary Wharf’s Combined Heat and Power network to help lower the impact on the environment.
