Before cars and even trains, London was a canal city like many others in Britain. One of the best things about canals is that they take you away from the noise and chaos of busy streets and open you up to areas that you couldn’t reach otherwise.

Canals are enjoying a huge resurgence for social and leisure activities and on this walking tour, you'll be able to see plenty of boats, some have even been converted into book shops, cafes and barbers! 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 areas of almost rural beauty and tranquility, modern cafe culture and incredible areas of urban renewal in a way only London can do.

The itinerary includes visits to Paddington Basin, Little Venice, Regent's Canal, ZSL London Zoo, Camden Market, The Stables Market, MTV Studios, Chester Road Regent's Park, Gasholder Park, Granary Square, Coal Drops Yard, Word On The Water, Kings Place 90 York Way, London Canal Museum.
