Points forts

Before cars and even trains, London was a canal city like many in Britain were. Then as now, one of the best things about canals is that it takes you away from the noise and chaos of the busy streets and opens up areas that you couldn’t reach otherwise. In fact you’d never even know you were in the middle of London. Canals are enjoying a huge resurgence for social and leisure activities and we will see plenty of boats, some even converted into book shops, cafes or even a barbers. Some are used as homes, moored up on the towpath whilst others chug merrily along going about their slow and peaceful business. This private 3 hour walking tour will reveal a side to London that most never get to see. Away from the hustle and bustle of the busy street, this walk combines area of almost rural beauty and tranquility, modern cafe culture and incredible areas of urban renewal in a way only London can do.

Itinéraire

  1. These were but to almost be like the western docks of London. Now redeveloped for business and leisure with possibly the only folding bridge in the world. We start along the famous Grand Union Canal.

    10 min

  2. Little Venice is truly serene and beautiful and is where we will leave the Grand Union Canal and head off on Regents Canal.

    10 min

  3. Regents Canal, built to connect the River Thames and the docks tot he canal network that linked London to the great cities of the north.

    2 h

  4. We walk right past the aviary and you never know when you might catch a glimpse of a giraffe or camel!

    5 min

  5. Camden Lock is one of few parts of the walk where it is remotely busy. Once an industrial area, now it is buzzing with cafes and restaurants

    10 minEntrée incluse

  6. The Stables Market, now a funky shopping destination but originally it housed the horses who worked the canals before the invention of boat engines.

    15 minEntrée incluse

  7. From the canal side we will see MTV Studios and those relating to Viacom and others. Everyone loves the views and life around the canal.

    5 min

  8. The canal passes through leafy Regents Park and some of the finest private homes in this part of London.

    15 min

  9. This 'little' park is built into an old giant gas holder. It is a good mix of the old and new that typifies this part of the canal.

    5 minEntrée incluse

  10. Another old industrial area that had found new life as one Londons newest and largest squares or plazas.

    5 minEntrée incluse

  11. Right next to the canal, this district used to be where the coal was stored for the nearby train stations. In the last year or so it has had millions spent on it to re-open as a hidden but high-end shopping destination.

    10 min

  12. My favourite of all the barges on the canal. A boat that is also a really rather good bookshop.

    5 minEntrée incluse

About Londres

Londres réunit cérémonial royal, musées de rang mondial et monuments au bord de l'eau, avec des quartiers, des marchés et des parcs à explorer à pied.

La Tamise relie la ville d'un bout à l'autre. Sur ses rives se dressent le Parlement et Big Ben, la Tour de Londres et ses joyaux de la Couronne, Tower Bridge et la longue promenade de la South Bank, qui passe devant le London Eye, le Globe de Shakespeare et la Tate Modern. La cathédrale Saint-Paul et l'abbaye de Westminster ancrent la silhouette ancienne de la ville, tandis que les tours de verre se pressent dans le quartier financier.

Top-ranked sights in Londres: St. Paul's Cathedral, Stonehenge, Tower of London.
