Mick Rooney; it is the very same canal. It flows past what is now Coal Drop Yard there, now and up-and-coming area and not at all the old York Way.

Did l ever think l would walk Regents Canal to find Italian Gondaliers at Little Venice, Errol the park keeper named after the fab lead singer in ‘Hot Chocolate’ and a pack of hyenas?

Yes! they flew through their enclosure right beside the towpath where it cuts through Regent’s Park Zoo.
l had such a thrilling, eventful time walking to lunch at Camden Lock,
l forgot to take a single photo.

Thanks GA for these amazingly unique shots and angles. The frosty seasonal light capturing the water as a gorgeous indigo hue by the Mansions.

Prayers today for those affected by the flooding and ravages of Storm Clara raging for the second night and especially the animals and birds in the wild

I regularly cycle along the canal–carefully I might add–and to me it is one of the gems of London. Thank you for brightening my day by posting these beautiful photographs.

So glad you took advantage of the wonderful weather on Thursday (it wouldn’t have been quite so nice doing the walk today!)

I had a memorable trip along the Regent’s Canal a few years ago to celebrate my friend’s ‘Daddy’s’ 98th birthday. He was particularly interested in the stretch near Pentonville where he used to live and work before the war. It was a lovely summer’s day and very peaceful, and difficult to believe you were in the middle of London.

Really beautiful photos to savour on both halves of your canal walk and full of interest. Thank you! The pedant in me feels obliged to point out that it would have been the Hammersmith&City line or Circle line that you took to get back from Paddington to Liverpool St and not the Metropolitan line. Very nice heating and air-conditioning they have these days too.

When I first arrived up in London after graduating, a pal let me stay in her very little, Little Venice flat (whilst searching for something suitable and affordable. Brune Street eventually).

After lots of low, unsuccessful days, for a high, we did this very same route at the weekend. I’ve never forgotten it. Tears of joy and I’m grateful to the GA for today’s post.

I promised myself back then, that someday, I’d live somewhere inspiring just like it.

I had to exit brexit, and head to NL do achieve it, but do it I did. Holland Heals.

Handsome sweater on the handsome fiddler! Wish I could find a pattern for the sweater.

Dear Gentle Author,

These images of the Regent’s Canal are really beautiful and inspiring and have brightened my morning, so thank you! I’ve got a walking tour happening soon which will take us from Paddington to Little Venice and clearly we are in for a treat.

Wishing you the very best.

Greetings from Boston,

GA, so glad you sauntered again in the winter sunshine along the Regent’s Canal, one of my favorite areas of London. Your pictures were wonderful what with the arches, the reflections on the water, the play of sunlight throughout.

Loved the “towpath fiddler of Camden.”
