Sightseeing
The New River Walk, Islington - a man made park along a stretch of the New River which was originally created as an aqueduct to bring water from the River Lea in Hertfordshire to Amwell Spring by Sadlers Wells.
Easily missed, as it winds between residential areas, this is the scenic route from Newington Green to Essex Road and Upper Street.

Regent’s Canal is one of London’s best-kept secrets. You’ll tiptoe past some of the capital’s most famous landmarks – including Regent’s Park, Camden Lock, King’s Cross and much of central London – missing out the congestion, crowds and noise you’d normally associate with one of the world’s busiest cities.
This route has long been loved by boaters and cyclists, but is now becoming increasingly popular with walkers. For the most part you’ll hardly even notice the city around you on a walk that’s mostly hidden from the surrounding buildings.
