Police are investigating an incident in which a 15-year-old died after being dragged out of the water in the Limehouse Cut at around 6.20pm on Wednesday evening.

The teenage male was taken by ambulance to an east London hospital but was pronounced dead around two hours later.

London’s waterways have been subject to frenzied regeneration of late but the banks of the Thames have seen most of the action. Now, with the Olympics just over four years away, east London’s maze of waterways is undergoing a renaissance with schemes such as Caspian Wharf on the banks of Limehouse Cut in Bow.

Planning permission and funding is being granted to build on the banks of the waterways, complemented by many of the original warehouses being brought back to life. One of the new-build developments is Caspian Wharf – Berkeley Homes (South East London) Ltd’s apartment block.
