Regent's Canal, Paddington

Highlight • River

Nice for Aperitif

Tip by

4.62 km

This canal from the beginning of the 19th century was an important west-east connection. The canal, equipped with a towpath, was still used commercially for the transport of goods (e.g. coal and wood) until the 1960s.

On the towpaths, the boats were pulled by horses.

In the former stables there are now market halls (-> Stables Market)

Regent's Canal

Highlight (Segment) • River

The Regent's Canal weaves quietly through the heart of the city, offering a more intimate side of London. A behind-the-scenes stroll where the city feels at home, relaxed, and unguarded.

Regent's Canal at Camden Market

Highlight • Historical Site

Visiting Regent's Canal is like entering a hidden world. From the colourful collection of narrowboats in Little Venice, it continues through Regent's Park, where it is overlooked by the enormous aviary of London Zoo. In Camden Town, it passes the craft stalls and quirky clothing shops of the famous market, a centre of London's alternative culture.
