On the left is the dreaded 'Blue Fence', keeping intruders out of the Olympics site. On the right, pleasnt modern housing. And straight on, the River Thames in about three miles. Interestingly, there are plans to bring in building materials by barge along this navigation to the Olympics site, which will represent a revival of usage for the waterway and the saving of many lorry journeys over local roads. The bridge in the distance is a footbridge only, giving access into Hackney Wick and the station from the canal towpath.
