Overview

Stating at Paddington station we join the Paddington Arm of the Regent's canal and continue  through Little Venice.  We continue westwards along a pretty section of the canal with large mansions. We leave the canal to walk up Primrose Hill for the views and then back, across the canal for a stroll around Regent's park.  

We will stop for lunch in Regent's park, where there is seating, please bring a packed lunch. After lunch we pass Camden Lock, rejoining the Grand Union canal to pass Camley Street nature reserve and Granary Wharf. The walk ends at Angel where there are lots of cafe's, pubs and restaurants.
