This canal leades from Tobacco Dock towards the River Thames. 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. In the background is the Shard Tower (at London Bridge).
