Limehouse Cut is hardly one of England's more popular canals, so it was fortunate that a small cruiser was passing under this bridge just as I took the photograph. This is looking northeast. Bow Common Lane is the name of the road to the left of the bridge, while at the right it changes its name to Upper North Street. It is not a classified road, but does carry a bus route - the 309 from Bethnal Green to Canning Town. It is one of those roads beloved of cabbies and white-van men who know 'all the dodges'.
