Can you walk from Little Venice to Camden along the canal?

The Regent's Canal tiptoes through the capital. This is a city walk through the backdoor, catching London in private, with its slippers on.



Yes, you can absolutely walk from Little Venice to Camden Town along the Regent’s Canal, and it is widely considered one of the most picturesque urban walks in London. The route is approximately 2.5 to 3 miles (4 to 5 kilometers) long and typically takes about 60 to 90 minutes at a leisurely pace. Starting at the colorful houseboats of Little Venice, the paved towpath leads you past the elegant Regency mansions of Maida Vale and through the dark but atmospheric Lisson Grove tunnel. As you continue, you will skirt the northern edge of Regent’s Park, providing a unique vantage point to glimpse the African hunting dogs or warthogs at the London Zoo without paying for a ticket. The walk concludes at the vibrant, bustling Camden Lock, where the tranquil greenery of the canal gives way to the eclectic energy of the world-famous markets. The path is almost entirely flat and traffic-free, making it an ideal escape from the city noise, though it can become quite busy with cyclists and other pedestrians during sunny weekends in 2026.
