Summary[edit]

Description
English: Regent's Canal This stretch of the Regent's Canal was opened in 1816 as part of a scheme to link Paddington Basin with the River Thames at Limehouse. It was named after the Prince Regent, later George IV, who was friendly with John Nash, a director of the canal company. In 1929, as a result of a series of mergers, the canal became part of the Grand Union Canal Company whose system stretched from London to Birmingham. This view is looking towards Camden Town with Regent's Park Road Bridge ahead.
