Packet Boat Bridge No 190

 
Packetboat Lane, London UB8 2JS, United Kingdom
 
Information about the place
Packet Boat Bridge No 190 is a minor waterways place on the Grand Union Canal (Grand Junction Canal - Main Line - Gayton to Brentford) between Troy Junction Towpath Bridge No 177A (Junction with the private Troy Branch) (6 miles and 1½ furlongs and 5 locks to the north) and Cowley Peachey Junction (Junction with Grand Union Slough Branch) (1¾ furlongs to the southeast).
 
 
The nearest place in the direction of Troy Junction Towpath Bridge No 177A is Benbow Way Bridge No 189; 3 furlongs away.
 
The nearest place in the direction of Cowley Peachey Junction is The Water's Edge Bar (Bar and Restaurant); a few yards away.

This is a pinch point. The normal maximum dimensions for a boat on this waterway are 72 feet long and 14 feet wide (the maxium height and draught are unknown), but to pass through here the maximum dimensions are 8 feet and 2 inches high.

There may be access to the towpath here.

Mooring here is tolerable (it's just about possible if really necessary).

There is a bridge here which takes a minor road over the canal.
