Regent's canal London

From Wikipedia “Regent's Canal is a canal across an area just north of central London, England. It provides a link from the Paddington Arm of the Grand Union Canal, just north-west of Paddington Basin in the west, to the Limehouse Basin and the River Thames in east London. The canal is 13.8 kilometres (8.6 miles) long.” While in London I had a lovely long walk along the banks of the Regent’s canal from Camden town lock to Paddington station. In spite of it passing through central London the walk is a very quiet and little attended one. The best part of it, where most of the narrow boats are berthed is called “Little Venice”. They should have called it Little Amsterdam instead, in my opinion… Here you can see the canal at Camden Town lock. This gentleman is waiting for the lock to be opened and so go on his journey towards East and the river Thames. Willingly he might continue his navigation up the river Thames and reach Oxford where our friend Iris lives…

See note to the previous photo to read some basic information about this canal and place.

A bit of local folklore... light was too strong, too many people around, too much of everything.... CLICK ON THE PHOTO FOR A BETTER VISION

Sorry, I'm not sure about this church. It appeared along the Regent's canal. It should be St Marks, in Prince Albert Rd, (see map link).
