Ahead is the River Soar/Grand Union Canal, while the Old River Soar continues to the left under the towpath bridge, rejoining the main channel about 1500 metres ahead. The tower block is The Summit, one of Leicester's new landmarks, a 67 metre tall development of student flats. N. Chadwick and Jo Turner add:
