  • Fetcham U3A Explore London Group 6
    Fetcham U3A Explore London Group 6 The Regents Canal Little Venice to Camden The Regent's Canal was built in the early 19th Century to link the River Thames at Limehouse to the Grand Union Canal junction at Paddington. One of the directors of the canal company was architect John Nash, famously commissioned by the Prince Regent (later George IV) to design Regent's park and the surrounding curved terraces. Nash's association with the Prince facilitated the Royal approval needed in naming the canal in his honour. The Regent's Canal was finally completed and opened in 1820 at a total cost of £772,000, twice the original budget. After major engineering difficulties and accusations of financial embezzlement, the Canal successfully carried 120,000 tons of cargo through London in its first year. It was deemed a success. The Regent's Canal is eight and a half miles long and flows from Little Venice through Camden and past Islington, Hackney and Tower Hamlets before it finally enters the Thames at Limehouse Basin in the East End. This walk starts at the picturesque Little Venice and takes you through the beautiful green corridor of The Regent's Canal, Primrose Hill and St John's Wood. An area rich in history, this corner of London has played a significant part in the capital's development both economically and culturally. Boasting former residents of writers, artists and inventors this area has always been somewhat avant-garde and is now home to some of London's most desirable addresses. Pool of Little Venice - Take the left exit out of Warwick Avenue tube and, after climbing the stairs, walk straight ahead and take the first road on the right, Warwick Place.
