Wharf Road Bridge

A not exceptional canal bridge at first glance. It’s carries a fairly minor side street. However it’s surrounded by interesting sites and sights. To the East is Whenlock Basin, a ‘dock’ off the main canal, with the usual boats moored and new warehouse developments. Right on that side of the bridge is the Narrow Boat pub. I’ve not been myself, but it looks a pleasant place.
The bridge itself is brick built, and includes access to road level via some fairly narrow, steep steps. I’ve carried my bike that way a few times, so not dreadful, but definitely not accessible.
To the West things get exciting, with City Road Basin, locks and Fish Benches.
Back at street level, a walk North up St Peter’s Street will take you swiftly to Essex Road near Islington Green, where you can turn left for Angel.
