The police advise that we familiarise ourselves with the local area each time we moor somewhere new, so they can get to us quickly if a crime does take place.

Look for a street sign or memorable sight and calculate approximately how far you are from, it in which direction.

E.g. “I’m moored on the EAST side/towpath of Regents Canal 50 metres NORTH of the junction with MILE END ROAD.”
