Route description
This is the updated route for Canpla One, as the original route had an error in the Canning Town area. The route is inner city, passing alongside historic docks and the River Thames. There are some steps on the route including a flight at the Canary Wharf end between Trafalgar Way and Blackwall Basin, however these can be avoided with a detour through the nearby estate, should this be required. London City Island is a new development, with organisations such as the English National Ballet moving in. The traffic free route on it is up the centre of the development, but it also possible to follow the road up the outside (as in the original Canpla One). The whole route contains regular places to stop and rest as well as places to get refreshments etc. To get from London City Island to Canning Town and the Barking Road it is necessary to use the Canning Town Station Subway, which is open when trains are running from the station (daily from around 5am to 1am the following day), outside of these hours currently the way only off the London City Island estate, towards Canning Town, is via the Lower Lea Crossing.
