Find out about the history, activities and the best places to stop for food and drink along our bit of the Regent’s Canal.
Camden Lock is a lovely place to see the canal at the same time as checking out the fantastic market, with its one-off stalls and delicious street food.
You can also book a boat trip along Regent’s Canal with the London Waterboat Company (londonwaterbus.com) based at 58 Camden Lock Place, NW1, on Friday evenings in June and July, where you can take the boat to the zoo – the only time the zoo opens late.
Thanks to Starbucks setting up in the lock keeper’s cottage AT 289 Camden High Street, there’s a dedicated room with panels about the Regent’s Canal.
Just after the bridge over Wharf Road there’s The Narrow Boat pub (thenarrowboatpub.com) – the only Islington pub that’s right on the canal.

As the only pub in the British Isles to bear the name, The Island Queen really is one of a kind.
Tucked away on Islington's quiet backstreets, "the Queen" is a quaint oasis of comfy sofas, high ceilings and intriguing original features reminiscent of a classic London gin palace.
Upstairs we have our Gin Lounge which is available for private functions and can cater for any party or event needs, whether it's a birthday, any celebration, after work drinks, corporate parties meetings, you name it we can deliver it!
Our deceptively bijou bar serves a gargantuan range of specialty drinks, while our colonial-inspired interior - embellished by etched glass and hand-painted mirrors - makes for a uniquely cosy backdrop in which to savor them.

Second, the wines: 20 in number, all but a couple available by both bottle and glass.
There’s also the pub food, affordable and good enough.
Inside, high ceilings tower over etched mirrors and abundant greenery; there are a couple of outdoor tables too.
But the Island Queen’s main asset is that it has personality in spades: it’s a proper pub for people who want a proper drink.
