Regent's Canal is a canal through London. It connects the River Thames in the east to the Grand Union Canal to the west. The canal was built in the early 19th century, as part of the masterplan for the development of central north London.
Construction of the Regent's Canal began in 1812, and the canal opened in stages, with the section from Paddington to Camden Town in 1816 and the section from Camden Town to Limehouse in 1820.
In recent years, the towpath of the Regent's Canal has become a popular area for cycling, whether to work or for recreation, as the people of London become more health and environment conscious.

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.
