Limehouse Cut
This is a straight, broad canal about 2 miles (3.2 km) long which linked the lower reaches of the River Lee Navigation to the River Thames. It now connects to Limehouse Basin as a result of changes made in 1968. It is the oldest canal in London having been authorised by an Act of Parliament obtained in 1766. It was built for sailing barges, and can accommodate vessels which are 88 ft by 19 ft (26.8m x 5.8m) though headroom is limited to 7ft (2.1m).
