DISTDANCING

Our dockside pontoons have been fitted out with dance floors where the DistDancing performers have been showcasing a series of impromptu performances, from classical ballet to aerial acrobatics.

The socially distanced performances can be viewed by passers-by from across the canal and have been a welcomed treat, not only for lovers of dance, but also for the furloughed dancers themselves.

On 30th August, the police shut down the performances with threats of arrest. We've since written a letter to the Met Police Commissioners Office to contest their decision to close down these beautiful, perfectly lawful solo performances.
