Royal Albert Dock

I am exploring the Docklands. Recently had to come to this area as many friends are living this side! It is now easily accessible by the DLR (Docklands Light Railway).
The Royal Albert Dock is on the north side of the City Airport, one of the three docks which are part of the Royal Docks of the redeveloped Docklands. The Connaught Bridge splits the two docks, Royal Albert and Royal Victoria, with the third dock, King George V Dock on the south side of the City Airport.
The Dock can be reach via its own station, the Royal Albert DLR (located opposite the City Airport) and is the location of The London Regatta Centre (rowing and dragon boat racing centre), and the London Hong Kong Dragon Boat Race Festival. An annual fundraising event in June, a fun family day out, with live music, martial arts displays, food festival, lion and dragon dances as some of the highlights including, of course, the dragon boat races.
Here is also the one restaurant Yi-​Ban Chinese Restaurant, yet to try as the day we were there, it was closed for a VIP event. It has a terrace overlooking the Royal Albert Dock. And that’s it, nothing else here, yet! It is still being developed as the next business centre.

Royal Albert Dock offers distinct competitive advantages including:
The fiscal and practical benefits of Enterprise Zone status.
Exceptional transport links, including proximity to London City Airport, and the arrival of Crossrail in 2018.
Proximity to major business and tourism destinations including the O2 Centre, ExCeL, Canary Wharf and the Olympics Park.
Proximity to the Siemens Urban Sustainability Centre, a £30 million visitor attraction, research facility and showcase for sustainable technologies currently under construction and due for completion early in 2012.
Accelerated business, development and infrastructure momentum across the Royal Docks e.g. ExCeL’s expansion, the Siemens Urban Sustainability Centre, Canning Town regeneration, Olympics related development, and advanced broadband connectivity.
The ‘Green Enterprise District’ status of the area which delivers a cutting edge approach towards investment in green technology, enterprise and infrastructure.
The opportunity to maximise use of the significant waterfront resource both in commercial, leisure and lifestyle terms.
We invite you to work with us to unlock the extraordinary potential of this unique location. Together we can create a world-​class business destination that sets a benchmark for commercial centres across the globe.
