Paddle Board Down the Canal in East London
Arrive at Poplar Union fifteen minutes before your cruise, meet your fellow paddlers, kit up and get on the water.
Although by no means a race, we want to get the blood pumping in this two-hour paddle. You’ll aim to get all the way up to Old Ford Lock and back in the time (2.5 km each way).
If you’re quick, there may even be a spare ten minutes for some half-time refreshments overlooking the canal from the bar at Swan Wharf.
The high quality boards, paddles and buoyancy aids are the perfect partner for exploring this historic and visually absorbing route.
The Limehouse Cut is London’s oldest canal. There are views of Three Mills, the world’s largest tidal mill dating back to the Domesday Book, whilst striking bridge architecture and graffiti combine to make this one of the most varied and interesting stretches of water in London.
