An early start from Little Venice took us to Camden ...

.. and through the locks.

The next lock was the newly refurbished St Pancras Lock.

After passing Victoria Park we turned (Unsuccessfully at first - Tim Steering) into the Hertford Union (Ducketts) Canal ...

... then left into the River Lee and through Old Ford Lock, then into the Limehouse Cut.

After a minor panic when we thought we were too late to go out we passed through Limehouse Lock and out onto the Tideway, viewing Canary Wharf ...

... and its new neighbours.

We soon approached Tower Bridge

Lesley was waiting on London Bridge to photograph us - we're in there somewhere - honest!
