canal trips
The
Regents Canal runs from the Limehouse Basin in East London's Docklands to
Little Venice in North-West London's Maida Vale. It provides a tranquil
corridor through the busy city and provides much-needed breathing space
for Londoners.
You can take boat trips on the prettiest and most interesting section
of the canal - between Camden Lock and Little Venice - or simply take
a stroll a long the towpath |
