City Road Basin
City Road, Islington
London, May 2023

“The City Road Basin is an English canal basin and part of the Regent's Canal in Central London, owned by the Canal & River Trust. It opened in 1820, and made a large contribution to the prosperity of the Regent's Canal. By the 1950s, its surroundings were largely derelict, but a programme of regeneration began in 2004, involving several large-scale residential developments, and public access to the basin was provided for the first time in 2009. The basin is used for canoeing by the Islington Boat Club.” (City Road Basin, Wikipedia)

Gdańsk, September 2018

“Gdańsk lies at the mouth of the Motława River, connected to the Leniwka, a branch in the delta of the nearby Vistula River, which drains 60 percent of Poland and connects Gdańsk with the Polish capital, Warsaw. Together with the nearby port of Gdynia, Gdańsk is also a notable industrial center. In the late Middle Ages it was an important seaport and shipbuilding town and, in the 14th and 15th centuries, a member of the Hanseatic League.” (Gdańsk, Wikipedia)

“Little Venice is a scenic and affluent part of London, known for its canals and moored boats. Much of the property in the area consists of Regency-style white painted stucco terraced town houses and mansions. Little Venice surrounds the convergence of three waterways: the Grand Union Canal and the Regent's Canal, and Paddington Basin which meet in a large, picturesque pool, Browning's Pool (usually called by residents ‘Little Venice Lagoon’ or ‘the Lagoon’), which forms the focus of the area. Little Venice is also a ward of the City of Westminster. The population at the 2011 Census was 10,633.” (Little Venice, London, Wikipedia)

“The Jane Birkin footbridge, formerly known as the ‘Customs footbridge’, is a pedestrian footbridge crossing the Saint-Martin canal, in the 10th arrondissement of Paris. The Jane Birkin footbridge is located in the 10th arrondissement of Paris. It crosses the Marais basin of the Saint-Martin canal, near the Temple locks. It is situated at the end of the Rue Léon-Jouhaux, between the Quai de Valmy and the Quai de Jemmapes, at the end of the Square Frédérick-Lemaître. This site is served by the République and Goncourt metro stations. The footbridge was originally called the ‘Customs footbridge’ (sometimes ‘Temple footbridge’ and even ‘Customs-and-Temple footbridge’). It took its name from the proximity of the rue de la Douane (now rue Léon-Jouhaux ) and the former site of the Customs administration. Since a deliberation by the Council of Paris in July 2025, it has borne the name of Jane Birkin (1946-2023), Franco-British actress, singer, screenwriter and director. The footbridge is a cast iron arch bridge. This footbridge, which was built in 1860, is the oldest on the Saint-Martin canal.” (Passerelle Jane-Birkin, Wikipedia)
