Canal Cruises and Canal Holidays – Regents Canal

Take a canal cruise along the historic Regents Canal:

The Regent’s Canal runs from the Limehouse Basin in East London’s Docklands to Little Venice in north-west London’s Maida Vale. You can do canal cruises on the prettiest and most interesting section of the canal – between Camden Lock and Little Venice.
