Today we had a day trip to London. We started off at Sir Ian McKellen's pub, The Grapes in Limehouse. They even have Gandalf's staff behind the bar.

Then we explored Limehouse basin.

And found the start of the Limehouse Cut.



We carried on round and found the Regent Canal.

The double locks are now single locks with weirs and lots of water coming down them.


Some of the local architecture has survived.

We finally made it to Islington tunnel.

And then after an overground trek we found the canal again and a rather disconcerting floating towpath.

Before a great meeting with cousin Harriet at a pub just outside Euston.
