If you look hard enough you can see JohnV in his pram at around 2.46 - I recognised him from his beard.

Sorry, kris - loved the opening still (looks a bit like Cassiobury??) - just don't have enough signal/data to watch the video.

It starts at Limehouse / Regents canal dock.

I've been intrigued about the Islington tunnel keepers house which is now gone completely.
Someone on the canalworld thread on this pointed out it may have been proud of the wall so the house could have been removed quite easily rather than still being in place behind the current brickwork.

I was thinking it had been bricked over but maybe not.
