Flower-covered narrow boat, navigates out of Camden Lock (Hampstead Road Lock), moving towards Hawley Lock on the Regent's Canal. Camden Lock, or Hampstead Road Locks is a twin manually-operated lock on the Regent's Canal in Camden Town, London Borough of Camden. The sign on each of the twin locks reads "Hampstead Road Lock 1". Hawley lock and Kentish Town lock are a short distance away to the east; there are no nearby locks to the west. The locks were constructed between 1818–20 by James Morgan, with John Nash, supervising engineer. It is the only twin-lock remaining on the Canal, the remainder having been modified to single lock operation. The current locks are Grade II listed and replaced an innovative, but unsuccessful, hydropneumatic lock designed by William Congreve in an attempt to conserve water.
