I like walking. A lot.
When I’ve visited my friend’s new working studio in Wembley, I had a look on his window and I’ve seen Grand Union Canal, just a few steps from his window. It didn’t take too much time to give myself a new challenge: to walk by the canal from his studio to Camden Town.
I did a bit of research: It’s a 10 miles journey, about 3 hours. Challenge accepted, I say to myself. Just a few minutes later I’ve started walking by the canal, from east to east, starting with Wembley area, then Park Royal, Kensal Town and so on.
I didn’t regret a second the decision I’ve made. It’s one of the most non-touristic route you can choose if you get to London and that’s the main reason I really like it. You can discover London in layers: from industrial part, residential, green areas and touristic, at the end.
Some of the houseboats looks really amazing. Nice decorated, different styles or objects, most of them reflecting the culture of their residents.
At the end of my journey, I had a very well deserved beyond meat burger from “Vegan Burger Camden“, which I totally recommend.
