REGENT'S CANAL
Our favourite place to stroll in London, quiet and bucolic. And still little known to tourists! It crosses all of London.
The Regent's Canal is one of London's prettiest secrets. One of our favourite places for walks, still unknown to tourists. However, Londoners know it well and jog or walk or cycle around it. It is 14 km long, bypassing central London from the north and running through the entire city from the west, with the charming Little Venice district, to the east and Victoria Park. It passes through the middle of Regent's Park, where you can even see some animals from the London Zoo, crosses the famous Camden market, still in full swing, runs along King's Cross and later joins the Thames at the Limehouse basin.... This road was inaugurated in 1820, on the occasion of the birthday of the Prince Regent and future George IV. The architect John Nash played a fundamental role in its construction. In the past, it was used to transport fuel and was an essential element of transport in southern England. It was completely renovated a few years ago, becoming a particularly peaceful place to walk. The barges that circulate there, called narrow boats, are now real living places, along the water. It is a more local, quiet and silent facet of London. The canal is lined with pubs and small friendly addresses. We cross several atmospheres: popular in Hackney, modern near Paddington, or rural in Kensal Green. Don't miss the opportunity to visit it. Our favorite part is between Little Venice and Camden Town.

L'ambiance le long du canal est assez calme, des bateaux passent, suivis par les canards, les gens s'assoient au bord, c'est un endroit charmant!
