Must replicate your canal walks at the earliest opportunity!

I haven’t walked along there since I was at Queen Mary College in the mid 90s. I had a couple of friends who lived in the student residences on campus. They were built as small shared apartments and some had a nice view over the canal.

Thank you for this! I’d love to see inside the buildings at Old Ford Lock.

Thank you so much for this article and the amazing photos which were my inspiration for a fascinating winter’s walk yesterday from Limehouse Basin to Kings Cross. Will definitely do the King’s Cross to Little Venice stretch, but on a weekday without the crowds!

I have also rambled both of these stretches of the regents canel but not for a very long time. Thank you for the reminder it brought back some wonderful memories.

Thank you for sharing all of your wonderful photos and adventures.
I have to say I found this even more enjoyable than usual as it made me think of my late father. He was a carpenter and worked for the Metropolitan Water board repairing the big, old lock gates. Probably similar to the one at Salmons brook in the photograph.

As so often your adventure shames me for having it within my power to do as well but failing completely. I lived (1937-1950) north of the canal in Stoke Newington/Hackney, crossed it on Kingsland Road when I travelled south, and went to school within spitting distance of Bonner Hall bridge, which I crossed almost daily in the summer on the way to the boating pond in Victoria Park. Yet it never occurred to me that I might walk along the canal bank for a novel adventurous experience and a new perspective. Alas! But I suppose the old excuse stands: you can’t do everything! So I offer my heartfelt thanks to you, dear author, for providing me, some seventy years later, with a valuable substitute experience.
