Dist:0.4km<br/>Half way up the left side of the grid square, looking south towards Hackney. This bridge crosses the River Lea taking the Lee Valley Pathway across the Lea connecting Waltham Forest with Hackney. It is also on route 1 of the Sustrans National Cycle network. It is supposed to look like a leaf opening! Pity about the graffito.

Dist:0.6km<br/>This passenger boat on the Lee Navigation was labelled "2012 games canal service" running from Limehouse via the Olympic Park to Tottenham (where some aquatics events would take place). Presumably it was being tested at this stage, more than a year before the actual Olympic games.
