Take a trip on a horse-drawn towing barge from Limehouse into old Central London!

The trip goes over the Regents Canal from Limehouse, via the Wharves of East London, Mile End Road, Various locks, White Chapel, Heartford Union Canal, Old Ford, Acton's Lock, Hackney, through Islington Tunnel, passes under the New River, over the GNR at Kingscross, under the Midland at St.Pancras, Kentish Town, Alpine Chalet, through Regents Park and London Zoo and ends at Paddington Basin just off Edgeware Road.

Modern technology is awesome. Bringing those films to life and colour. The additional films indicated on the left of the screen show even more. From England myself, now in Canada I am having a ball.

Thanks for your post and information.

Immersive and quite moving IMO thanks to the score.

Interesting to see a Clydesdale horse doing such humble draft duty.

You’re absolutely right. Thanks for setting me straight.
