The original bridge 1933-4 on the “Bow Back Rivers” a network of channels linked to the River Lee. The original gantries, ramps and lock house were demolished over the years with new radial risings gates installed in 2016. This stretch of the park alongside the canal arteries makes for a pleasant stroll with interesting bridges, roads set at different elevations.

A lovely day out walking along the canal from Queen Elizabeth Olympic park to Lee Valley Ice Centre. Carpenters Road Lock has well defined pathways and is surrounded by well manicured lawns. There is plenty of seating available too as well as a number of refreshment outlets. A great place to start a family walk or walk with friends. Highly recommended.

Unique 1930's lock, restored recently to working operation. The Lea & Stort Trip boats use this regularly.
