    I worked at Queen Mary University for 35 years, I've always been close to the canal. There was a Hobbies and Interests club at the University, one of the events was a walk from Mile End to Little Venice, I guided the group through the streets of Islington when the canal tunnel was reached. My retirement party was at the Palm Tree pub near the wonderful Victoria Park, the pub was also our Friday "watering hole". As a child I lived near the Paddington Arm of the Grand Union Canal. It's amazing to see all the new buildings adjacent to the canal.
    This is a truly wonderful video, as I now live in south west Ireland it brought back some great memories. Many thanks!

    I have done up to halfway today. The natural habitat created in mile end park and victoria park is amazing. It feels so rural. The pagoda and well decorated bridge are delightful. I have not seen much diversity in people taking exercise, mostly Caucasians are keeping fit. The bright spring sunshine coupled with 4K quality makes it so real. Thanks again.

    Thanks for uploading this. Particularly liked the part from 1:17:00 to 1:33:00 as I have walked this route on several occasions. This has shown me that there are lots of other places on or near the canal that I should like to visit (e.g. the Chinese Pagoda). Except that for now I won't be able to, being that I live outside of London.

Did you complete all of it in one go? That will be heroic. Also 1.52 to 2.04, the tow path disappeared. You definitely know the way to get back to the canal through angel shopping center. The sun kept smiling all the way. How very nice....

    A esta señora 23:35 ya la habíamos adelantado antes 12:57, y ahora la volvemos a adelantar. ¿Cómo es esto posible? ¡No hemos visto en ningún momento que ella nos sobrepase a nosotros! Habrá sido en los breves instantes en que mirábamos hacia la izquierda, al canal o algún edificio; pero entonces, al girar otra vez la habríamos visto por delante de nosotros muy cerca, y no es el caso: cuando la hemos vuelto a ver, ella nos llevaba mucha ventaja. Misterio. Nos giramos 24:58, y no se distingue bien a esa persona caminante, pero pudiera ser ella. Completamos el giro y seguimos, y ya no la volvemos a ver ni aunque volvamos 30:17 la vista atrás.

      @tilerman 2 года назад

      London canals are shallow. In the middle about 1.4 metres. If the bottom wasn't so sludgy you could stand up. I walk the canals daily and have never seen anyone fall or get knocked in. If you did you would be able to get out easily. Not the locks though as some of those are very deep. Temp of water? Depends on time of year!

    Loved this walk, I really like London - big city life! Walks like this take one's thoughts of things. If you ever feel like nature, trees and rivers, though, come and check out our channel! 🌳Thank you! 😊

    Yikes! How do people not fall into the water passing by so closely with joggers and bikers? I could see how my uncoordinated butt might be in trouble:) Otherwise nice long walk.

      Not anymore, stay away from council estates in London though, especially at night.
