Mile End Lock, Canal lock in Mile End, United Kingdom.
Mile End Lock spans the Regent's Canal between Queen Mary University of London and Mile End Park, serving as a water level control point.
The lock, built during the Industrial Revolution, includes a 19th-century lock keeper's cottage that stands as a testament to British canal engineering.
The towpath along Mile End Lock connects communities, providing spaces for pedestrians and cyclists to traverse the waterways of East London.
Located near Mile End Underground station, the lock manages an 8-foot water level difference, enabling vessels to navigate between different canal sections.
The lock operates as number 9 in the sequence of Regent's Canal structures, positioned between Johnson's Lock and Old Ford Lock.
