In late 1992, Andrew Campling founded the London Docklands Singers with a small group of friends and colleagues who enjoyed making music together. The choir soon grew and the first performance in April 1993 saw about 30 singers on the stage. Today, the choir numbers some 50 singers, aged from 20 to 70+ from a wide variety of backgrounds and professions, living and working all over London and beyond.

The aim of the London Docklands Singers is to provide live classical music of a high artistic standard at affordable prices. The inclusive joining policy of the choir welcomes experienced choristers and sight-singers as well as those with more limited skills and experience. Weekly rehearsals as well as the high level of commitment, enthusiasm, mutual support and a friendly atmosphere help all singers attain the musical standard required to perform in concert. LDS gives three formal concerts each year, often accompanied by the Marcel Sinfonia.
