Abbott's Walk moorings, Limehouse Cut
In former years, London's urban canals had many small docks where one or two boats could be moored off the main route while loading or unloading took place. Many of these have disappeared, but their successors are private side moorings available to nearby residents where a few narrow boats can be kept.

Abbott's Wharf, Limehouse Cut
The name is old, but the inlet is not, it was made when the residential redevelopment took place. It appears from old maps that the industry on this side of the canal moved goods across the towpath.
