Brief description
"The Royal Victoria was closed to commercial traffic in 1981, but it is still accessible to shipping.
Most of the original buildings were demolished but a few historic warehouses survived.[9] More recent development has included the Royal Victoria Dock Bridge completed in 1998,[10] and the ExCeL Exhibition Centre, constructed on the north quayside, which opened in November 2000.[11]
Events:
On 15 August 2009, the dock hosted the inaugural Great London Swim, a mass participation open water swim over a one-mile distance. The event has been held annually since then but on the first weekend in July. On 16 to 17 June 2018, the dock hosted the F1H2O Grand Prix of London won by Erik Stark.[12] Britannia Village has its own Community Foundation.[13]
Royal Victoria Dock is the starting location for the annual Docklands Head, a rowing head race hosted by Poplar Blackwall and District Rowing Club. The race starts under the Royal Victoria Dock Bridge and proceeds eastwards underneath Connaught Footbridge and Connaught Road Bridge, finishing at the eastern end of the Royal Albert Dock.[14]"
