Public access
The lock stands on the River Lee Navigation towpath which forms part of the Lea Valley Walk.
Unlike most of the locks on the Lea, when travelling upstream, the temporary mooring before entering the lock is on the right-hand (starboard) side of the river, as is the mooring on leaving the lock.

gollark: It's a rust port of this (https://github.com/TomSmeets/FractalArt), going on my github once I finish writing documentation.
gollark: On a semihemirelated note, I finally fixed my port of FractalArt to Rust, so I can generate these nice pictures quite fast.
gollark: Hard work doesn't make something inherently good.
gollark: Which people buy for some reason.
