Walking the East End's Canals

Walking along East London’s historic canal network unlocks a tranquil world only yards from the bustle of commercial life.  Over the last 20 years, London’s East End has undergone a dramatic transformation.  This looks set to continue well into the early part of the 21st century with major regeneration of the area proposed.

Start your walk by heading north-east along the Limehouse Cut towpath.  Follow the Mile End Park towpath which will take you to Limehouse Basin.
