If I get up there again, I'll take a photo. I have had a bit more of a scour around OSM for examples. I cannot find another similar body of water. However, I've noticed people using natural=water a lot. Not too sure about this - it clearly isn't natural! I suppose it is an option, if having canals as areas is no good (does anyone have any views on using area=yes?). Maybe another option is to use riverbank and add this as a jutting out bit of the main watercourse?
