About this Event
🥾 Paddington to Camden Walk – Regent’s Canal, Little Venice & Primrose Hill Views London canal walks | Regent’s Canal walk | Camden Lock walking tour | urban hikes London | Little Venice to Camden Join GO London Hiking for a beautiful urban walk through historic waterways and leafy neighborhoods, tracing Regent’s Canal from Paddington Basin to the vibrant heart of Camden. Starting at Paddington Station, we’ll escape the city’s bustle and follow the tranquil canal past the houseboats of Little Venice, where narrowboats drift like floating cottages. We continue east onto the Regent’s Canal, opened in 1820 and once a key route for coal and timber during London’s industrial boom. Along the way, we pass architectural landmarks like the grand Crocker’s Folly, and walk over the Maida Hill Tunnel, the canal’s second-longest. Admire quirky sights like the Upside Down House, the elegant villas of Regent’s Park, and climb Primrose Hill for stunning panoramic views. From there, we pass Gilbey’s Yard, a former wine and spirits depot turned creative quarter, and reach the lively Camden Lock, once a thriving dock and now home to street food, music, and markets. Our walk ends at Camden Town Tube Station, with time to explore or enjoy an optional post-walk social.
