Camden Lock is a buzzing area with great range of diverse street food traders and independent stores next to the tranquil Regent's Canal. London Waterbus leisurely narrowboat moores right next to the Hampstead Road Locks and buzzing West Yard of the Camden Market. A footbridge over the Regent's Canal links the West Yard with Ice Wharf! West Yard is full of independent street food vendors selling all kinds of local & World Food. Camden Market is open 10am till 6pm 7 days a week. Simply, you can grab your meal and board the London Waterbus - it is that close!

One of the key attractions of the trip is the live very informative commentary by the tour guide. 45 minutes worth of journey will give you much more historic information about the heritages, structures and places along the banks of the Regent's Canal! The tour guides are really cheerful, friendly and with full of enthusiasm about the area and its' history! It can be classed as history class ☺

Travelling along the picturesque Regent's Canal on a long narrow leisure boat with slide-to-open windows in both sides is absolutely an amazing experience - and then mix this with live light-hearted but informative commentary about the iconic canalside heritages including Maida Hill Tunnel, London Zoo, Regent's Park, Regent's Park Mosque, Mansions, New exhibition under-construction Monkey Valley..............

Waterbus runs one way in either direction from Little Venice Mooring to historic world-renowned Camden Market! The journey takes around 45 minutes The boat is very clean and in good condition! Staff cleans the boat after each journey! All Staff are very cheerful mixed with their own personal charm!

If you want return trip - you need to choose both ways separately but can be purchased at the same checkout! Booking is essential to avoid disappointment! Walk-Ins are allowed only if there are spaces available!

Little Venice:
Waterbus Boats are moored at Browning's Pool, Little Venice. Little Venice is a silver-lining sparkling expanse of waterways confluence point of the Regent's Canal and the Grand Junction Canal's Paddington Arm. It is an oasis of tranquility and place of outstanding beauty - complete with Waterside Cafe on a boat, Barge Theatre on a boat, Browning's Island in the middle creating a roundabout effect!  Browning's Pool is full of wildfowl - watch them & observe them playing, swimming and flying - time will fly........

Brief Story of Regent's Canal:
In 1812, The Regent's Canal was planned & built to create a link between the Grand Junction Canal's Paddington Arm (now known as Little Venice) to the River Thames at Limehouse Basin. Once opened for business, the Regent's Canal became one of the most successful canal routes, together with the Grand Junction Canal and the associated routes to the Midlands and north, carrying huge quantities of timber, coal, building materials and foodstuffs into and out of London.

After spending a day at London Zoo we got the last boat from Camden to Little Venice. We hadn't booked, (although I would advise), as we wasn't sure we'd have the time, but the operator was very accommodating and for our party of 6.
The trip itself goes through a part of London you wouldn't normally see, (I'm a born and bred Londoner!) and was accompanied by great narration from our operator/guide. The fact that his great, great grandfather helped build the canal added extra meaning to the different tales.
This was something I've wanted to do for a long time and it didn't disappoint.

Did the tour Camden to Little Venice, was really nice and after buzzing Camden market a welcoming calm 45min on the narrow boat. The guide on the boat was super friendly and she was giving just the right amount of info and was not too entertaining. Need to reserve on a weekend.

This was so much fun, and a great way to get familiar with this area of London from a unique perspective. The guide was lovely & informative, and the boat was clean & comfortable. I opted for passage only from Little Venice to Camden, and then enjoyed going through Camden, Primrose Hill & St John's on the walk back. Would recommend!

I've used this journey twice in the past few months. Once with a class of special needs children and once with my own family. Everyone has absolutely loved it. The guides are always so informative and that makes the trip even better. Would definitely recommend this trip

Love the experience. Listening to the lovely lady tour guide's detailed explanations about the places we passed by while enjoying the wonderful breeze is an experience I would love to repeat. The staff were really wonderful and patient, especially with the other boats kind of stuck in the canal and delaying the trip a bit. It was overall a fun activity.

My husband and I took the 45 min tour from Little Venice to Camden Market. It was wonderful, very informative and entertaining. The views were lovely and the experience was very well priced. Our tour guide Nicky was fabulous. Would highly recommend for anyone visiting London.

I have been to Camden Town many times but have never taken a canel ride. The boat was easy to spot and there was plenty of room inside for everyone to take a seat and still feel spacious. We got some fantastic and comical commentary from the staff through the whole trip and I found it thoroughly entertaining and fun. The staff were friendly and I would definitely recommend it!
