Regent's Canal was constructed in the early 1800s to link the Grand
Junction Canal's Paddington Arm with the River Thames at Limehouse
Basin in the Docklands.
This cache is near York Way and King's Cross Station, and
commands an excellent view of Battlebridge Basin.
The Basin was opened in the 1820s as a private wharf venture,
and only became available to the public in recent years when London
Waterways purchased it.
Now it is used for long-term and transient moorings of long
boats, and has become a popular filming location for movie
directors.
While you are in the area, you may want to visit the London
Canal Museum, open Tuesday through Sunday, 10.00 am to 4.30 pm.
