The Limehouse Basin

After travelling as far as Canary Wharf by tube we encountered the closure of the DLR and a bus replacement service.  Catherine and Angela had had enough of bus on rail replacement (well we did it once) so we got a taxi to Limehouse.  The taxi driver was better at roads than canals.  He thought he had dropped us off in the correct place but we had a bit of a walk to find the Limehouse Basin/start of the Regent's Canal.


On our way to the basin we spotted this flag which was flying at half mast because it was the anniversary of the death of Lord Nelson.



Another sunny day although colder than our other walking days.  The four of us are walking today.



We had to be careful here as the Limehouse Cut also empties into the basin but after a bit of investigation we found the correct way to go.


Here is the Limehouse Cut heading towards Canary Wharf.
