Canals in London

There were many canals built through Greater London. The majority of these were laid out in the 19th century, when the city was spreading outwards, and canals provided a cheap form of transportation. Goods were delivered using these canals by barges. They include coal, raw material as well as manufactured goods.

As London began to modernize, the use of the canals declined. Some were no longer passable, while others were converted for recreational usage. On this page, we shall explore the canals in London and get to know more about them.

About this website

Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
