Lock and associated landscape for the new Three Mills Lock at Prescott Channel, Bromley-by-Bow. This is the first new lock to be built in London for 20 years.

In 2007 Farrells were commissioned by British Waterways to design a new lock and associated landscape for the new Three Mills Lock at Prescott Channel, Bromley-by-Bow. This is the first new lock to be built in London for 20 years. For more than 50 years, the Bow Back Rivers in east London lay derelict, under-used and almost forgotten. The completion of the new Three Mills Lock has revived this fascinating network of waterways and made it part of the 2012 Olympic Park.

Three Mills Lock was constructed by civil engineering contractor Volker Stevin, and was officially opened in June 2009.
