Short read: To get to know the Regent’s Canal is to tap into a completely different London – a London you wouldn’t normally see.
LONDON WALKS PRACTICALS
Regent’s Canal – Mile End to Limehouse takes place at 2.30 pm on Sunday, February 5 and at 2.30 pm on Sunday, May 7.
The meeting point for the Regent’s Canal – Mile End to Limehouse walk is just outside the exit of Mile End Tube.
LONDON WALKS HORS D’OEUVRE
The Regent’s Canal – Mile End to Limehouse walk is one of a series of Regent’s Canal and other Inland Waterways walks that we conduct in partnership with the IWA (Inland Waterways Association). There are getting on for a dozen different canal and Inland Waterways walks in their repertory. The Canal Walks’ regular slot is the 2.30 pm Tour du Jour offering on the first and third Sunday of every month. And there are usually a handful of “guest appearance” canal walks that run as “Specials” on selected dates in any given Summer or Winter London Walks programme.
There’s more. The guides are all members of the IWA. They have some formidable expertise – know the canals better than “ordinary mortals” And – how special is this – they donate their fees to the IWA. So you’re supporting a good cause – doing a seriously good turn – when you go on one of our canal walks.

I really appreciated this very enjoyable walk. The guide was excellent, and the route took in a superb view along the Thames. This is the first time I’ve been on a London Walk, but I’m certainly thinking of doing more.
