Chiswick Bridge to Wandsworth Bridge - London Canal Loop Part 7
As the Grand Union Canal joins the River Brent it gets more and more industrial, passing by weirs, roads, railways, offices and warehouses until we finally reach the Thames at Brent Creek. We’ll then follow the Thames for a short distance to Chiswick Bridge where we end this journey for the day. There’s also various art and info signs that we’ll come across. See the website link below for more detail on some of those.
Check out the playlist and subscribe for future instalments as we carry on the walk along the Grand Union Canal proper down to the River Thames. Includes SDH (Subtitles for the Deaf or Hard-of-Hearing) captions.
