The Hertford Union Canal

Also known as Ducketts Canal as the main text will explain. The Hertford Union is the shortest canal in the capital, and the only one that has all its locks grouped together. It forms part of the mini London canal ring, which constitutes of a trip down to Limehouse on the Regents, then up the Lee Navigation and back up via the Hertford Union (or vice versa)
