The charity making life better by water
Making life better by water
Camden Locks, on London's 'rural' Regent's Canal, has been regenerated into one of the liveliest areas for a great day out.
Most famous for its markets, an opportunity to find unusual gifts, works of art and antiques, and plenty of canalside eateries and for sampling cosmopolitan flavours from around the world.
It takes time and funding to keep Camden Locks safe and beautiful for everyone. Your support makes it possible.

Pause for a chat with our friendly volunteer lock keepers, they’ll tell you more about the canal, the area and the work they do to make Camden Locks special. Repairing locks, building flower planters for wildlife, clearing fallen trees after storms – they do it all.
