Summary

| Description |
English: Grosvenor Canal , Lower basin Grosvenor Canal was a canal in west London, opened in 1825 close to Chelsea Hospital. Almost nothing of it remains today.
The canal was originally part of the Chelsea Waterworks Company, built in 1723 to supply West London with drinking water. The canal was opened to traffic in 1825 from a basin at Chelsea Bridge as far as a basin on the site of Victoria Station. Construction of the station in 1858 resulted in the canal being halved in length, stretching only as far as Ebury Bridge. It was halved in length again when Ebury Bridge Estate was built by Westminster City Council in 1925. The lower basin of the canal and the first few locks were kept as a dock, allowing the council to load refuse barges. Currently a housing development known as Grosvenor Waterside is being finished with ornamental pools in the centre of the development where the route of the canal once was. The opening to the Thames remains, but with no access to boats. Nothing remains of the canal beyond the lock gates. This shows the view through to the Thames from the lower basin. |
