These four blocks of flats have been given canal-related names: from the near end, they are: Imperial Wharf, Alexandra Wharf, London Wharf, and Regents Wharf. The flats are all in the London Borough of Tower Hamlets, but the photographer on the towpath is in Hackney.

These impressive silhouettes of empty gas holders loom over the canal, monuments to bygone era. They were part of Shoreditch gasworks: the site has now been subsumes into Haggerston Park.

Looking south from Cat & Mutton Bridge, at the traffic lights Whiston Road comes in from the right, while Pritchard's Road veers left. The narrower road going straight on is Goldsmith's Row. In this picture, the boundary between the London Boroughs of Hackney and Tower Hamlets lies along the centre of Pritchard's Road, with Tower Hamlets to the left and Hackney to the right.

Looking south from Cat & Mutton Bridge, two buses on Route 394 are seen passing near the northern end of Pritchard's Road. Route 394 operates from the 'Angel', Islington, to Homerton Hospital, mainly using roads which are not served by other routes.

Dist:0.1km<br/>On the corner of Broadway Market and Andrews Road. This stands on the site of the old Cat & Mutton alehouse, which was completely rebuilt in 1909 as the 'Sir Walter Scott'. (This name still appears on the right-hand wall).

Dist:0.1km<br/>Here we are at the western end of Andrews Road. The public house on the right is 'La Vie en Rose', which is on the site of the old Cat & Mutton alehouse, which was rebuilt in 1909 as the 'Sir Walter Scott', which name can be still seen on the front of the pub. The Regent's Canal is just out of view on the left.

Dist:0.1km<br/>This bridge still carries the name of a former alehouse which stood on the site at the extreme right, but has not existed as such since at least 1919. The present pub on the site was built in 1909 as the 'Sir Walter Scott' but is now known as 'La Vie en Rose'.
