The Regents Canal - Blomfield Road and Maida Hill tunnel


Warwick Avenue Bridge by Little Venice marks the start of the Regents Canal. There used to be a footbridge here at one time

Indus & Picton on a coal run while Micks Tug passes with a dumb barge for collecting rubble from Fisherton St (next to Lisson Grove)


Cruising along Blomfield Road towards Cafe Laville and Maida Hill Tunnel. The tunnel passes under Edgware Road. Maida Hill is the highest part of W2 at 120ft


Adjacent to Maida Hill Tunnel is Arthur Lowe's former home in Maida Avenue


Here's a rarity! A red canal boat and a red London bus viewed from the opposite side of the canal by Arthur Lowe's home. During the middle two weekends of November 2003 all the Edgware Road bus routes were being diverted via Blomfield Road. Here can be seen a pair of RML's (the rear bus is RML 2508) working the No. 6 route. During the same period the 187 route operator faced a stock shortage of buses, and for around two weeks the oddest collection of single and double deckers were seen working that route Next: Lisson Grove & Marylebone
