Explore London’s Canals in Illustrated Detail

A visual and historical journey along the Regent’s Canal and its links, from leafy parks to the Olympic Park via Camden and King’s Cross.

The Regent's Canal traces a 14-mile urban towpath route through north and east London, from Little Venice to the Olympic Park. Incorporating the Regent’s Canal, the Limehouse Cut, the Hertford Union and the Lee Navigation, this richly illustrated second edition is full of visual detail and historical context.

David Fathers captures the transformation of these waterways from industrial corridors to modern leisure spaces, offering readers a compelling mix of architecture, urban regeneration, cultural history and London life. Each section charts a distinctive stretch of the canal, from the leafy elegance of Regent’s Park to the redeveloped expanse of the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park.
