Joining The Surrey Canal Walk
Joining The Surrey Canal Walk
The Surrey Canal was a canal constructed in south London, during the early 19th century. It opened to the Old Kent Road in 1807, to Camberwell in 1810, and to Peckham in 1826. Its main purpose was to transport cargo, primarily timber to the Surrey Commercial Docks.
The Grand Surrey Canal closed progressively from the 1940s, with all but the Greenland Dock closing in the 1970s. Much of the route is traceable, as it has been turned into roadways and linear parks.
