Regent's Canal, Waterway in North London, England.
The 8.6-kilometer canal connects the River Thames in Paddington to the River Lea, passing through Camden, Islington, Hackney, and Tower Hamlets boroughs.
Constructed between 1812 and 1820 under architect John Nash's direction, this canal transported essential goods such as timber, coal, and food supplies into London.
The London Canal Museum, located in a former ice warehouse, presents exhibits about the transportation methods and daily routines of canal workers.
The canal paths provide alternative routes for cyclists and pedestrians to travel across London without encountering vehicle traffic.
The Islington Tunnel stretches 875 meters beneath the city surface and remains the only section of the canal without a towpath.
