Info

Leamouth is a district in the East End of London in the borough of Tower Hamlets. Leamouth lies on the west side of the confluence of the Bow Creek stretch of the Lea, and the River Thames.
The neighbourhood consists of two small peninsulas, separated from the rest of Blackwall by the remaining part of the East India Docks. The northern peninsula lies in a hairpin meander and is named Goodluck Hope after one of the adjacent reaches of the Lea, while the other is known as Orchard Place.
The area was long referred to locally as Bog Island, due to its inaccessibility and propensity to flood; however the building of the Thames Barrier and the artificial raising of the more vulnerable riverside land, means the nickname refers to a now much reduced threat.
