McDonald's in Wharf Road
This McDonald's is very special as, not only does it appear to be standing on the boundary of the parish of St Leonard Shoreditch that the plaque in Image mentions, it is also right on the border between two gridsquares, TQ3282 and TQ3283, as well as the border between the London Boroughs of Hackney and Islington! How's that for a boundary record? Looking south from Wharf Road.

Art galleries in Wharf Road, Hackney side
I was visiting an exhibition of abstract art by female artists in the Victoria Miro gallery, which has the two floors of a former warehouse. The exhibition continued onto the third floor above the adjoining Parasol Unit. The two share a garden with the end of Wenlock canal basin. In Wharf Road beyond the galleries are modern apartment blocks with balconies that overhang the pavement.

Plaque on a wall in Thoresby Street
This plaque marks the boundary between two Shoreditch parishes and dates back to 1835. I wish the lamp post which is casting a shadow over the plaque could have been moved further along the street - it is really spoiling the shot in my opinion! Looking north-northwest.

Looking up Wharf Road
A road formerly lined with warehouses giving onto the two canal basins on either side. Those to the left, overlooking City Road Basin, are largely replaced by new housing; those on the right, overlooking Wenlock Basin, remain but are converted to flats and offices.
On the extreme left, a National Grid distribution centre: the Regents Canal towpath houses a major underground power line.
Visible above a window on the extreme right, a boundary stone for the parish of St Leonard Shoreditch (for details, see Image).

The white van is parked in front of another part of the National Grid site, the 400kV substation is in the lighter coloured brick building beyond. Beyond that again is a new apartment block. Image shows the sign for the substation.
