Haggerston

Regent's Canal, looking east, seen from class 378 London Overground unit to West Croydon, between Haggerston and Hoxton on the partially reopened Broad Street line viaduct, at 10.38 on Saturday, 30th November 2024. This canal was opened in 1820 to link the Grand Junction Canal at Paddington with the Thames at Limehouse. Plans to drain the Regent's Canal and convert it to a railway in the mid-19th Century never happened, obviously! In 1929, both this and the Grand Junction Canal were amalgamated as the Grand Union Canal but the Regent's Canal is still known colloquially by its original name.
