We are Londoning!: Regent's Canal

I know I have already talked about the Canals in London, and how fun it is to hire a boat and sail through them. However, this post is about walking about the shore. It all came after a filling lunch under the sun and the prominent heat we're experiencing lately - not complaining - when a need for a walk was due and we needed somewhere cooler. Luckily enough, we were close to Regent's Park, and decide to wander about the canals.

The canal network in London it's quite extensive, so we decided to go around Regent's Canal - there is another branch around Paddington - from Regent's Park towards Islington, walking around Camden Town - you have to emerge around the market to actually be able to continue - underneath Camden Road, St. Pancras Way, York Way and we decided to emerge around Caledonian Road. It was a really good and pleasant walk, watching the buildings - one of my friends once decided that he wouldn't mind to live in one of the houses by the canal like the ones in the pictures above; I don't think I'd mind either - the boats, the people, the people in the boats... there were also a couple of hidden pubs in the way but we didn't stop so I don't have the details (yet).

You just need to beware about the bikes (bicycles), as there are good riders who go slow and will kindly ask you to move to one side but there are others that will have no issues if you end up in the water. And believe me, there are some areas where you definitely don't want to go for a swim even if it's boiling hot.
