Cumberland Basin (London)

Cumberland Basin (or Cumberland Market Basin) was a canal basin near Euston railway station in London, England and a part of the Regent's Canal. It was originally known as Jew's Harp Basin in the 1880s, after a nearby public house.

The basin's excavation was authorised in 1813 to serve Cumberland Market and the then-industrial "New Road", and in 1941–2 the basin was filled back in, chiefly using rubble from the London Blitz.
