Hanwell Flight of Locks
Windmill and LockThe Hanwell flight of six locks raises the Grand Union Canal by just over 53 feet (16.2 m) and has been designated a Scheduled Ancient Monument by English Heritage.[15] At the top of the flight of locks towards Norwood Green is the Three Bridges designed by Isambard Kingdom Brunel. It is still often referred to locally as simply Windmill Bridge and is very close to the spot where the eponymous windmill once stood; attracting the attention of a local Brentford artist named Joseph Mallard William Turner. These are actually within the boundary of Southall but are named after the local village of Hanwell, which is much closer than either of the villages of Norwood or Southall.

nadiakushnir ~ The main trouble would be that you would have quite a few locks to go through before you reached the River Thames, but then the World would be your Oyster, or if you preferred the calmness of the canal you could go in the opposite direction to Birmingham in five or six days and many, many more locks to pass through :) Maybe a yacht down at the Marina in Gosport would be easier :)
