This four mile walk along the Regent’s Canal seems a million miles away from the city streets that overspill with people and traffic nearby.

Starting in Islington this walk arches gracefully past the green spaces of Victoria and Mile End Parks before entering the historic Limehouse Basin. If you are feeling energetic you can continue your walk from Limehouse to Three Mills along the Limehouse Cut to see Britain’s oldest standing mill.
