Bridge over the river Lee

Junctions (24) : Hertford Union Canal Junction

Rather confusingly the two ends of the short Hertford Union Canal in East London have very similar names. The Hertford Union Junction links the canal to the Regent's Canal but the Hertford Union Canal Junction links it to the river Lee.

Canary Wharf waterways

Canary Wharf is of course famous as being one of the world centres of finance (or is that "infamous" these days?) and the subject of many tasteful panning shots in the Apprentice. But of course Canary Wharf sits on the river Thames (the wharf part of the name is a hint of course). On Thursday i had a walk around the quays and river in this part of East London and here are my photos.

Train into the murk

Winding Holes (2) : Minworth Arm

Said to be the remains of the Minworth Arm? A place to turn around anyway.
