The old docks in the East End... Sometimes the redevelopment works, sometimes it doesn't quite. It's noticeable how much money has been invested here, and it's certainly a stylish and undoubtedly very expensive place to live. But it was so empty. So soulless. Apart from a few pigeons, there was no sign of life. When a delivery van did turn the corner or a person hurried by, the sound echoed loudly and felt even more lonely. The square is beautifully laid out, but for me, it's absolutely NOT inviting. I sat down anyway and took a break to see if anything would happen. Maybe in the summer? I was there in February. 🤔

nice place where spotting ducks and dickheads

Can see the well preserved platforms from the former station which closed in 1962. Today provides convenient seating, parking, and bike access to the excellent Cole Green Way route.

This shouldn't be a Road Cycling Highlight

Sod the ford and just use the bridge.

25 minutes relaxing

Nice corner of the canal with cafes, bars and lots of pedestrians in good weather

Heading out from here onto the road, you have a quietist climb directly ahead taking you to Letty Green. The road you cross is tight and fast and not great for cycling on if you can help it. (I love it for motorcycling though.)
