Lee Navigation: Alongside the Olympics site
Introduction
The photograph on this page of Lee Navigation: Alongside the Olympics site by Dr Neil Clifton as part of the Geograph project.
The Geograph project started in 2005 with the aim of publishing, organising and preserving representative images for every square kilometre of Great Britain, Ireland and the Isle of Man.
There are currently over 7.5m images from over 14,400 individuals and you can help contribute to the project by visiting https://www.geograph.org.uk

The blue boards which were originally fixed alongside the towpath here have been replaced with some attractive glass posters showing children's work inspired by the Olympics. To their credit, the local youth have not defaced any of this with graffiti. This stretch of the Lee Navigation is sometimes referred to as the 'Hackney Cut'.
