Bridgewater Channel & English Village
A man-made channel beneath London Bridge that serves as the main route for boat cruises, with a red telephone box, bars and a tour boat dock in the English Village on the banks.
The channel is about 1.6 km long. Its excavation turned a peninsula into an island, and London Bridge was rebuilt precisely to span it. High-speed travel is banned in the channel, so on weekends yachts and speedboats queue up and cruise slowly, creating a distinctive 'parade' scene. Footpaths on both banks let you watch as you walk. The English Village, on the southeast side of the bridge, has British-style buildings, souvenir shops, restaurants and several rental points for tour boats, speedboats and paddleboards. A one-hour channel sightseeing cruise costs about US$25.
