The Three Mills residential moorings facility is a community of approximately twenty residential narrowboats on the side of Three Mills Green, a public green space. Permission for its creation, with onshore facilities to include a garden and service areas with a launderette was granted in 1998, with subsequent amendments in 2008 to reconfigure and improve the moorings. Although historically this stretch of water was tidal, it was converted to non-tidal stretch in preparation for the 2012 Olympic Games by the construction of a weir. Thus access to the mooring is by two locks; City Mill Lock to the north and the Three Mills Lock in the Prescott Channel. The rear elevation of House Mill can be seen in middle of the picture, with the Canary Wharf tower behind it. The tallest of the cluster of buildings on the right seems likely to be the Marner Point apartment block, which is situated obliquely opposite the Bromley-by-Bow Underground Station. This photograph was taken from a footpath that forms part of a circular historical trail.
