Blackwall Basin 
Blackwall Basin is on the River Thames (tidal section).
Early plans of what would become the River Thames (tidal section) were drawn up by William Jessop in 1876 but problems with Canterbury Locks caused delays and it was finally opened on January 1 1888. According to Barry Hunter's "Spooky Things on the Canals" booklet, Leicester Embankment is haunted by the ghost of Arthur Yates, a lock-keeper, who drowned in the canal one winter night.

The West India Docks are a series of three docks on the Isle of Dogs in London, England the first of which opened in 1802. Following the closure of the docks to commercial traffic in 1980, the Canary Wharf development was built on the site.
