The Future
Bellway Homes recently completed "Zenith" on the north west side of the basin. Four retail units facing the basin lie vacant, apparently due to lack of service access provision for deliveries. Recently works have been undertaken as part of the Docklands Light Railway 3-car capacity enhancement project, the Limehouse station has been extended over Branch Road with a new entrance close to the north west corner of the basin. The station is now served by 3-car trains on the Bank-Lewisham and Tower Gateway-Beckton routes.
First Base are expected to hold a public consultation on the site overlooking the basin on Branch Road later in 2008.

Famous quotes containing the word future:
“If nations always moved from one set of furnished rooms to another—and always into a better set—things might be easier, but the trouble is that there is no one to prepare the new rooms. The future is worse than the ocean—there is nothing there. It will be what men and circumstances make it.”
—Alexander Herzen (1812–1870)
“Self-kindled every atom glows,
And hints the future which it owes.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
