The Grand Surrey Canal

Unusually for any canal, there's an abundance of street names derived from the canal, and these give clues to the former locations that the canal once served

Street names linked to the Surrey Canal

In several places roads have names that are connected to the Grand Surrey Canal. There is a Depot Place in Camberwell, which probably could have denoted the canal's terminus at Albany Basin. As well as Windlass Place and Canal Approach in Deptford, and Canal Head in Peckham, here are some signs that are canal related

A rarity. A company named after the Grand Surrey Canal. This is at Trundleys Road
