The charity making life better by water

Regent's Canal

The Regent’s Canal offers an oasis of calm in the capital. Once London’s best kept secret, we’re now spreading the word with walkers, boaters, commuters and everyone looking to escape the busy streets.

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

Things to do along the Regent's Canal

From busy craft markets to calm cafe retreats, there's plenty to enjoy in this part of London's canal network.
