Exploring London by canal boat
by Clark Norton, EnCompass
You’re near the center of busy, noisy London, passing by parks, bridges and stately mansions, yet you’re away from the tourist hordes and traffic jams. That’s because you’re gliding slowly, quietly along the Regent’s Canal, a nine-mile waterway from west London to the River Thames.
Completed in 1820, the Regent’s Canal ties into an extensive network of man-made canals that, during their heyday from the late 1700s into the early 1800s, carried timber, oil and coal to market.
