Regents Canal in London runs
from Paddington to Limehouse basin on the Thames. Through its journey it
passes through the splendour of Regents Park but also through the areas
of re-generation around Hackney.
These images
follow a walk along the Regents Canal from Camden to Victoria Park near
Mile End. It takes in recent changes to the area around Kings Cross
station and then along the Canal from Islington to Hackney where new
housing developments, council estates and a decaying industrial
landscape define an urban landscape that is undergoing a rapid period of
change. It reflects a broad gentrification of the East of London and a
reminder of the constant tides of re-development and change that have
marked London over the centuries.
