Access to the Hertford Union Canal is via the tow-path from Wick Road at St Marks Gate (Victoria Park). East leads to the Lee Navigation where proceeding north leads to Hackney Marshes. As this latter is within the Olympic Park the tow-path may be closed unpredictably while building works are undertaken. Turning south along the Lea leads through Bow Locks, into Bow Creek and thence to the River Thames, but the tow-path can also often be blocked. West from Wick Road leads to the Hertford Union junction where the canal joins the Regent's Canal, near Mile End.
