Acton's Lock, Navigation lock on Regent's Canal in Haggerston, England
Acton's Lock, designated as Lock No. 7, features a vertical drop of 8 feet to regulate water levels between different sections of the Regent's Canal.
The lock was constructed in the early nineteenth century as part of the Regent's Canal network, connecting Limehouse Basin to Paddington Basin across London.
The canal banks near the lock display numerous street art works, reflecting the neighborhood's connection to London's urban art movement.
The Canal & River Trust maintains this lock, which operates daily for boats navigating between the 2.5-mile mark from Limehouse Basin.
The lock forms a water level control point where numerous species of waterfowl gather during their seasonal migrations through London.
