October 30, 2009 By Helen Page 1 Comment

Regent's Canal, London

The Regent’s Canal is One of London’s Best-Kept Secrets: To say that the Regent’s Canal is one of the best-kept secrets in London is no exaggeration. I’ve been travelling to London since the 1990’s and yet this year is the first time that I’m visiting this Canal with nearly 200 years of history. The nine-mile […]
