The marshes and canals around The Thames and Limehouse made transport somewhat of a chore as we look at it. Normal for people living in the 1790s, however. I previously wrote about some of the research I used for Limehouse in Smuggler's Captain. But with the canals, it made the boating industry all the more viable for those living and working in the area.
Today you can take a walking tour of the area, which sounds amazing! But it's much more built up than it was in 1797 when Nadia and James meet on the docks.
This is a great link to the area.
