Regent's Canal
North London canal
Regent's Canal is a waterway in London, running about nine miles from Paddington to the Thames at Limehouse.
Built in the early nineteenth century to connect the Grand Junction Canal to the London docks, it passes through Camden, Islington, and the East End.
Now used mainly for leisure boats and walking paths: We walked along the Regent's Canal towpath.
