The Limehouse Cut is a straight broad canal in the East End of London England which linked the lower reaches of the Lee Navigation to the River Thames. It now connects to Limehouse Basin (which in turn connects to the River Thames) as a result of changes made in 1968.The Cut turns in a broad curve from Bow Locks where the Lee Navigation meets Bow Creek; it then proceeds directly south-west for 2 miles (3.2 km) through the London Borough of Tower Hamlets to Limehouse Basin.
