An hour on the canal....

[Rice Crackers]

Hammer - That's the River Lea. And having been to the Olympic park I'm pretty sure it's fenced off as it's a secure area. The area of the Lea above the Olympic park was home to quite a few of our travelling friends last time I looked so I wouldn't be heading down there with fishing gear. There is a stretch of canal that links the park to the Grand Union and can be accessed from Victoria Park in Hackney. There's even a lock (which looks weird in East London) but not sure what the fishing situation is.
