Footbridge over Tobacco Dock Canal
Image: © David Anstiss Taken: 23 May 2012
A canal leades from the Thames to Tobacco Dock (in the background) in East London. As its name suggests, Tobacco Dock was where tobacco imported from overseas was unloaded from ships then stored. The whole area was once occupied by the London Docks, but is now largely used for housing. The canalpath is now used by National Cycle Network Route 13. The bridge links between Kennet Street and Waterman Way.
