this week one of my journeys too me east, hackney wick east. i bit of a nothing part of the east end of london, a place of change though and gentrification. the gateway to the olympic park and historically the boundary between middlesex and essex. where the river lea, the lee navigation and the hertford union canal meet at the hackney cut.

a place where old meets new, a place of colour and street art too.

i was east side again this saturday afternoon, but this time all on my tod. after leaving nanny minnie’s i fancied a little wonder. so instead of heading down to the regents canal, i headed a little further east, to the hertford union canal (ducketts canal), a short stretch of canal originally opened in 1830 as a short cut, which links up the regents canal to the lee navigation.
