Kentish Town Lock, Canal lock in Camden, England

Constructed between 1818 and 1820, the lock system initially consisted of paired chambers designed to optimize water usage during canal boat operations.
The area near Kentish Town Lock transformed from industrial usage into a center for artisans, with workshops and markets established during the 1970s.
