The Regent's Canal, the Limehouse Cut, the Hertford Union and the
Lee Navigation collectively cut a swathe through north and east
London. This 14 mile path, cycle and waterway is a journey full of
intriguing contrasts: From the amateur sports fields of Regent's
Park to London's new Olympic Park. From the studio where Hitchcock
directed some of his early films to MTV in Camden Lock. From fine
period housing to industrial wasteland, social housing and new
canalside builds. From the pleasure boats chugging to Camden to the
sleek Eurostars roaring off to Paris. The use of canals has changed
dramatically over the past fifty years from one of industrial
transportation to waterfront living and leisure activities. The
canals in this book have undergone major phases of rebirth with new
developments at King's Cross, Limehouse and the Olympic Park in
Newham. Illustrator David Fathers offers a snapshot of how the
canals were formed and how they appear today, in a series of
arresting and information-packed pages following a course from
Little Venice to the River Thames at Limehouse, and on to the
Olympic Park.
