About this event
A fleet of Association of Dunkirk Little Ships vessels assembles in the historic Centre Basin at St Katharine Docks, moored in the shadow of Tower Bridge and opened to the public for the day. Owners are aboard to talk about their boats and the 1940 Operation Dynamo evacuation that made them famous. It is a rare chance to step close to — and in some cases aboard — working pieces of wartime history.
Why we picked it
A free, one-day-only heritage spectacle in a postcard-perfect central London setting, with direct access to the boats and their owners.
