Who says only Italian which has Venice? In the UK, we can also enjoy a canoe to paddle down the canal located around London. One option activities undertaken by tourists during a visit to London is boating down the River Thames. But actually, there are other ways if you want to down the river without having to worry about rushing rivers and big boats passing. Travelers can sail safely on the canal scattered throughout London.

In the Paddington area, there are some beautiful rivers and canals. Regent canal is one of the rivers which flow into sailing locations and is known as Little Venice of London. The canal flows from Paddington Basin and culminate in the Grand Union Canal north of central London. The flow channels will flow through wide Regent’s Park and Camden Market, which is always crowded by people who are shopping.

At first, the Regent Canal is a channel designed to connect large river with the Grand Union Canal, which carries basic supplies such as food, clothing and other basic materials to all regions in the UK.
