Ornamental Canal, Wapping

I had never been to this part of east London before. I had only recently heard about this canal in Wapping which is a remnant from the area's former role as London's docks. It certainly deserves its name 'ornamental' - it looks almost as if it was laid out specifically to create viewpoints for photography.

 

Being here felt like being in a different city - Paris, perhaps, with the Shard taking the place of the Eiffel Tower.

 

By the way, I promise that the seagull in the top left is not a comped-in addition. It was really there. As were the swans on the canal.
