Bromley Stop Lock, Canal lock in Tower Hamlets, England
Bromley Stop Lock stands on the Limehouse Cut, functioning as a water level control point between different sections of the East London canal system.
The lock was built in 1853 near Commercial Road bridge, and underwent modifications including the addition of a third set of gates for improved water management.
The lock represents the industrial development of East London waterways, marking the transition between different canal ownership territories in the Victorian era.
Access to the lock area is available through the Lea Valley Walk towpath, with Limehouse DLR station providing the nearest public transportation connection.
The remains of one gate from the original structure persist among vegetation behind the modern floating towpath, marking the location of this engineering facility.
