Limehouse Basin
Limehouse provide a navigable link between regents canal and the Thames, through the Limehouse Lock. The area has been completely renovated and is now home to luxury flats.
there is limited seating on the site, and it has a cold feel. The paving and surroundings ushers you out of the site, there are historic plaques which give small details about the history. The site feels Private !
There doesn't seem to be that many general public users.
