DSWC – Docklands Sailing and Watersports Centre

Located in the heart of London’s Docklands at the west end of Millwall outer dock, the Centre is based in an award-winning purpose-built facility with great views from the upstairs bar over the dock, and wet facilities downstairs.

We are a Recognised Training Centre and deliver courses in sailing, windsurfing, powerboating and paddlesports.

Our function rooms are available for private and corporate hire throughout the week and land-based events can also be tied in with our water-based activities, such as dragon boating, sailing or paddlesports to create a great day out for you.
