Salmon Lane is an old road in Limehouse which has been a public highway since at the latest the 15th century. The road was once called Sermon Lane, the latter as it was the principal route from Limehouse to Stepney parish church.

According to the book Without the City Walls, Hector Bolitho and Derek Peel, at was named after Captain Robert Salmon, Master of Trinity House at the time of the Spanish Armada.

It long had a market and was the location of a warehouse storing imported turtles. They were brought straight from the docks, and from here many London firms furnishing the City and the West End with calipash and calipee were supplied.

From 1907, future director Alfred Hitchcock lived at 175 Salmon Lane when his father become a fishmonger there.

Salmon Lane Lock is on the Regent’s Canal. A new footbridge at the lock was completed in 2005 connecting Salmon Lane to Parnham Street.

Limehouse

Limehouse is a National Rail station, also connected to the Docklands Light Railway (DLR) network.

Limehouse station provides regional services connecting to and from Fenchurch Street, as well as light metro services offered by the DLR, linking to Tower Gateway or Bank. Limehouse station is situated approximately 2.8 km away from Fenchurch Street on the main line, with the next station being West Ham. On the DLR, it is positioned between Shadwell and Westferry.

The station was originally opened by the Commercial Railway, later known as the London and Blackwall Railway, in 1840 under the name Stepney. During that time, the Commercial Railway operated another station called Limehouse, located one stop to the east of Stepney. In 1923, Stepney was renamed Stepney East, and in 1926, the other Limehouse station was closed down.

In 1987, Stepney East changed its name to Limehouse shortly before the introduction of the DLR.
