The Regent's Canal Walking Tour in London, London, England

Walking in London is impossible, if you walk in London you don’t get anywhere, the walking itineraries in London are too dispersive. These are just some of the clichés I hear a lot, too often, maybe.

Indeed, walking in London is not like doing it in Paris, a much more compact city with close and well-defined neighborhoods. However, the English capital offers many walking itineraries, either by following the subway lines or strolling from one neighborhood to another.

Among the London walks that I prefer, the one along the Regent’s Canal is undoubtedly the first that I would recommend, in its short version, and the long one, in case you are a tireless walker.

The Regent’s Canal connects the district known as Little Venice, west of London, to the Thames in the Limehouse area, on the opposite side of the city.

The walk lasts about three hours, passing through Regent’s Park, a small detour to enjoy the views from Primrose Hill, Camden Lock, and Islington, but I suggest you add two more hours to get to the Limehouse Basin. ...... (follow the instructions below for accessing the rest of this article).
