Limehouse Cut
The Limehouse Cut is an arrow-straight canal passing for almost two miles through industrial London.
It links the River Lee at Bromley-by-Bow with the Thames at Limehouse, avoiding the long loop of the Thames around the Isle of Dogs. It is currently undergoing a three-year regeneration programme to make it more accessible and appealing to visitors and the local community.
The former Regent's Canal Dock, now called Limehouse Basin, has undergone substantial improvements and is now home to an eclectic mix of vessels from large ocean yachts and motor cruisers to attractively decorated narrowboats. The Docklands Light Railway passes close by.
