Where to Find London's Lost Canal

Video Description

London is home to a number of canals- such as the Regent's Canal and the southern stretch of the Grand Union Canal. There are also a number of lost canals associated with the city; waterways which have long since vanished having been filled in many years ago... the most obvious example being the former 'Grand Surrey Canal' which, for some 160 years, used to flow between Rotherhithe and Camberwell. Despite no longer being in existence, long sections of the Grand Surrey Canal are still visible if you know where to look (similar in a way to an abandoned railway line), and in this video I'll be taking you on a walk of the former route, telling you all about the canal's history- plus some other local points of interest- as we go along! ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chapters 00:00 Intro 02:12 Greenland Dock, SE16 06:13 Grand Canal Avenue, SE16 09:39 Canal Approach, SE8 11:07 Trundley's Road, SE8 13:03 Surrey Canal Road, SE14 14:53 Old Kent Road, SE15 16:40 The Peckham Branch, SE15 19:30 Burgess Park, SE5 25:41 Outro ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- If you're interested in visiting the 'London Canal Museum', you can find more information on their website: https://www.canalmuseum.org.uk The Moby Dick Pub: https://www.mobydickgreenlanddock.co.uk ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Thank you so much to all of you who support my channel with your kind words, likes and shares.
