Steps going down to the tow path, used in the past by horses

Bow Back Rivers are part of the River Lee in London and form a complex system of waterways. Improvements were carried out in 1930 by the River Lee (Flood Relief) Act.


Bow Creek, and the connecting waterways, Prescott Channel, Abbey Creek, Three Mills River, City Mill River and Waterworks River, are all tidal but St. Thomas Creek, City Mill River and the Old River Lee are not (being maintained at the same level as the Limehouse Cut).


Also in the area is the Northern Outfall Sewer and Abbey Mill Pumping Station, both designed by Joseph Bazalgette in the 1860s: today this sewer is now a public footpath The Greenway.
