Regent's Canal

Our flat is just a block from the canal which stretches through Islington, Camden, Regent's Park, the zoo, and all the way down to Little Venice. The day before Sascha arrived, Max and I took a stroll down the canal to check it out and were more than pleasantly surprised!

Not only was it a beautiful day, with temperatures in the low 70s (that was just two and a half weeks ago, and it is currently 48 outside at 3pm), but the canal was a getaway to a calm, beautiful, and charming stretch of the city we hadn't yet explored. We walked for a few miles until stopping by a long stretch of house boats in Westminster and heading back. Unfortunately, the camera battery died just as we were starting the walk, so we'll have to go get more pictures now that the charger has arrived (thanks, mom!).

Wow! that really does look peaceful. Hopefully is smells clean and crisp as well.

The canal is great for walking away from all the noisy roads but watch out for cyclists on the towpath.

Hi Andy - we do enjoy the escape the canal provides but have found it, like many other places in London, is an area where cyclists just don't 'get' it :)
