The Regents Canal - Through the Regents Park
The Central London Mosque is a major landmark on the canal along with these Nash style houses that line the north perimeter of Regents Park
These houses have been built within the last 15 years and are arguably some of London's most expensive properties. A large hostel that once stood here was demolished to make way for these modern 'Nash' style houses
N/B Russia at Chalbert Street footbridge - The structure is actually an aqueduct carrying the Tyburn - one of London's lost rivers
Macclesfield Bridge is about midway on the Regents Park section. This lovely golden scene was captured a week before Xmas 2008
A busy Regents park towpath scene near James Close, with 'Dungeons & Dragons' class N/B Brimwylf heading east
Primrose Hill Bridge which heralds the London Zoo section. Its also the spot where one should leave the towpath for the spectacular climb to the top of Primrose Hill
This is a view from the top of Primrose Hill. Its certainly a recommended diversion off the canal and its a easy walk to the top where great views can be afforded. The Snowdon Avairy can be seen in the picture and as a matter of fact the Regents Canal runs across the centre foreground of the whole scene in its deep cutting
Regents Canal towpath activity - man chatting on mobile & group admiring the zoo animals. A private boat, a waterbus & My Fair Lady are in the background
Gardenia by the Giraffe House at the London Zoo in Regents Park
Lord Snowdon's Avairy in Regents Park. The Zoo straddles both sides of the canal
On the towpath opposite the water bus stop for London Zoo
Towpath walkers and a waterbus at St Marks Gate bridge, near the junction from which the old Cumberland Arm began
At the end of the Regents Park section boats turn sharp left for Camden Town. The canal once went straight on to Cumberland Basin near Great Portland Street
A close up of the Feng Shang Chinese restaurant. This unusual style floating eatery is top heavy and is actually held stable by the footbridge
