Hertford Union Canal

The Hertford Union Canal is part of the Grand Union Canal and runs from Hertford Union Junction with the Regents Canal to the junction with the River Lee Navigation.

It is 1.9 kilometers (1.2 miles) long with 3 broad locks.

The Route

Virtually straight from one end to the other the canal was constructed to provide a direct link between the Regents Canal and the River Lee Navigation which not only saved time but avoided the difficulties of a short trip along the tidal River Thames before the Limehouse Cut was dug.

The canal is surprisingly quiet, being bounded along its northern edge by Victoria Park. Many of the features date from the opening in 1830 and are now listed structures.

Photo Gallery

Visit our Hertford Union Canal Photo Gallery to take a virtual trip along the arm from Hertford Union Junction to the River Lee Navigation. Use the coloured arrows on the right of the gallery to navigate.

Key Features

Zero point for the table is at Brentford Junction, where the Grand Union Canal meets the River Thames
