Moorings on the Regent's Canal

The Regent's Canal is a 14-kilometre canal running through the heart of north and east London, connecting the Grand Union Canal at Paddington Basin to the Thames at Limehouse Basin. Built between 1812 and 1820 to a design by John Nash, the canal passes through some of London's most fashionable and characterful neighbourhoods: Little Venice with its moored narrowboats and floating cafes, the market bustle of Camden Lock, the Victorian terraces of Islington, the creative quarter of Hackney, and the regenerated docklands of Limehouse. It is arguably the most sought-after liveaboard location in the UK, combining central London access with the distinctive community of life on the water. CRT-managed moorings are tightly controlled, with waiting lists for licensed residential moorings often spanning many years.
