Canoes on the canal



Londoners must be envied - firstly because it's sunny again - check this, it is November :) and then because it has a lot to offer.

Ever heard of Little Venice and all the canals that service Londoners and make for great walks?

Today, was the day to take a closer look! First stop, Little Venice - closest tube station : Warwick Avenue on the Bakerloo Line. A short walk and we are there. Always great to have company!

We find the canal and start walking - lovely colours and lovely reflections on the water - not much traffic on the water - which is a bit of a shame ... and fortunately not many pedestrians either which is a plus point!

But we run into a bit of bother : full bladders and no appropriate facilities in sight ...
We resort to getting off the canal track onto street level and towards Primrose Hill.
ahhhh how lovely is that, relief is near by! The first pub on the corner is where we stop - not for long .. just to do you know what!

Regents Park Road is lovely and had it not been for the urge we would not have seen it!

Back on track, we continue along Regents Canal all the way to Camden Lock. A spot of (late) lunch and back along the canal.

Now it gets exciting - canoes on the canal! See, told you so, lots to do in London!
