Daedalus Waterfront has been thoughtfully designed to bring people together, foster connections and a strong sense of community.

Across the site, landscaped gardens and restored squares provide places to pause, meet, and play, from family-friendly areas and dog parks to quieter spots for reflection. The restored Officers Mess Hall at the back of the Ward Room will be a building for the whole Lee community to host events, workshops, and gatherings—ensuring there’s always something happening, and somewhere to belong.

Seaplane Square, once the heart of historic operations, is being reimagined as a vibrant public space—framed by the revitalised Hovercraft Museum, heritage buildings and filled with life. Around it, cafés, independent shops, and eateries will invite people to linger, connect, and make the most of everyday moments.

Whether you’re meeting friends or colleagues, visiting, or simply enjoying the atmosphere, Daedalus Waterfront offers a social mix that complements the natural surroundings, embraces the sites rich history and is deeply rooted in place.
