Boat trip on Regent Canal - from Little Venice to Camden Lock
Boat trips from Little Venice to Camden Lock are organised by the London Waterbus company. Yesterday we went on the one-way boat trip from Little Venice to Camden Lock. The trip takes you along the historic Regents Canal passing through the damp and dark Maida Hill tunnel (the tunnel is about 272 yards long and around 200 years old giving it an eerie effect), Regents Park with the beautiful architecture around, the ZSL zoo, the Primrose Hill and finally reaching the Camden Lock. You can head straight to the Camden market from here.
The London waterbus trip makes a stop at the ZSL zoo during each trip. You need not book the tickets in advance. Just head to the mooring site and pay on board. One way trip is 50 minutes and costs £6.50 for an adult. Return fare for an adult is £9.30 and last 1 hour 50 minutes.

Final Word:
We have been to Venice and seen the beautiful canals there. After experiencing that, this boat trip on the Regent canal was nothing great to write about. However, for those who have not been to Venice, this might an alternative option. We took the one-way trip and walked back along the towpath from Camden Lock to Little Venice. This was an interesting walk taking in all the beautiful sights at leisure.
