London and South East

You'll find all sorts of information about our waterways in London and South East here, whether you're a live aboard boater or a towpath commuter.

Discover great days out and brilliant ways to walk, run, cycle, boat, paddle, fish or even volunteer your way to a happier, healthier life.

Our community projects are revitalising your local waterways and creating wellbeing spaces for the future. Along these well-travelled canals from Oxford, Slough and all the way to the iconic London Docklands, you can get involved and help us make life better by water.

Proposed new easy access between Avenue Road and the Regent's Canal

Proposed new easy access between Avenue Road and the Regent's Canal

Together with The Royal Parks, we're creating better access from the road to the towpath, so more people can enjoy the canal by Regent's Park. We’ve submitted a planning application for the new access and you can view the application as well as see the plans and other project information from the Royal Parks project page here

View the Avenue Road access planning application here 

You can also view the planning application directly here using application reference '18/06246/FULL'. If the proposal receives planning consent, the access will be available from Spring 2019. For more information contact us at AvenueRoadAccess@canalrivertrust.org.uk.
