The Plan
Paddle through London’s oldest canal from Limehouse to Crate Brewery’s bar on the water’s edge in Hackney Wick.
An urban adventure in London. If you’ve never canoed before that’s fine. This adventure is suitable for anyone (18 yrs and over). At 6km, the route follows the Limehouse Cut and River Lea with houseboats, warehouses, swans and other birdlife along the way. On arrival we would recommend trying the in-house craft ales at Crate Brewery’s bar and their delicious pizzas.(Not included in the price of this adventure). Also for an extra cosy experience there is the very lovely bar/ boat called Alfred Le Roy usually found moored outside the bar. Then it’s home via nearby Hackney Wick overground and rail station (2 minute walk away).
