Although situated somewhat away from the busy central London the canals are by no means a quiet spot. Not only are they a famous tourist attraction, but the place is also most popular among walkers and, well – cyclists! And for a good reason, as the canals of London are such a beautiful place to explore. This is where the Regent's Canal links with the River Thames and Hertford Union Canal – with the Lee. It is best that you take it slow here, and not only to be safe. After all, the views are amazing with the narrowboats cruising around the canals – and you will find plenty of bars and cafes on the Regent's Canal path between Islington and Victoria Park. Well, now that you know it's there it's up to you to go and gift yourself a wonderful day!

No traffic. Best sights of London along the way. To quote the great, if this isn't nice, then I don't know what is. The path starts in Greenwich right on the banks of the Thames, proceeds to National Cycle Route 1, goes through Dartford and all the way to Gravesend. Canary Wharf, the Millennium Dome, as well as other great views are yours to enjoy at your own pace, all thanks to the area being completely traffic-free.
