Cycle Superhighway 3 near Shadwell
Two "Cycle Superhighways" (numbered 3 and 7) were introduced by the Mayor of London in 2010, with more planned. They are intended as highly visible, well-signposted "corridor" routes into Central London, identifiable by their bright blue tarmac.
Here in the East End, Cycle Superhighway 3 uses a shared pavement to provide a two-way cycle lane. The adjacent road is one way only.
On the viaduct above, a Docklands Light Railway train is passing.

Pinchin Street, E1
The shape of this street is entirely dictated by the railway, long since gone, however the units under the arches are taken with small businesses. This was a goods railway leading north for about 400 yards from the main Fenchurch Street to Southend line, terminating at a very large goods depot bordered by Commercial Road, Gower's Walk and Leman Street.

Former branch line to Commercial Road goods station, London E1
This stretch of now trackless viaduct once carried a branch line from the main line to Fenchurch Street into Commercial Road goods depot. This stood just to the south of Commercial Road near its junction with Alie Street. The line was opened in 1886 by the London Tilbury & Southend Railway to carry goods traffic from the Tilbury Docks and survived until 1967. Today it can only be traced as far as Back Church Street which is marked by the row of low rise flats on the centre left of the picture. Taken from a C2C train bound for Shoeburyness.
