Coal Drops Yard

Highlight • Structure

Recently remodeled sheds, now a fancy place for shopping and the unavoidable coffee-to-go you apparently have to carry around in central London.

Regent's Canal Towpath

Highlight • Cycleway

Relaxing walk along the canal away from the buzz of the city with many houseboats.

Regent's Canal at Camden Market

Highlight • Historical Site

Visiting Regent's Canal is like entering a hidden world. From the colourful collection of narrowboats in Little Venice, it continues through Regent's Park, where it is overlooked by the enormous aviary of London Zoo. In Camden Town, it passes the craft stalls and quirky clothing shops of the famous market, a centre of London's alternative culture.

Regent's Canal

Highlight (Segment) • River

The Regent's Canal weaves quietly through the heart of the city, offering a more intimate side of London. A behind-the-scenes stroll where the city feels at home, relaxed, and unguarded.

Queen Mary's Rose Gardens, Regent's Park

Highlight • Natural Monument

Beautiful park that is in no way inferior to the more well-known ones in the city center. The vast amounts of roses planted at Queen Mary's Rose Gardens sure look stunning in bloom.

Highlight • Monument

Queen Mary's Gardens

Highlight • Natural Monument

Queen Mary's Garden is a world-famous garden named after the wife of King George V. In 1932 when Queen Mary's Gardens opened to the general public, the first superintendent planted a rose garden which was completed in 1934.
The Delphinium border has full National Collection status. The Mediterranean Borders are well established, and the Begonia Garden, with its 9,000 begonias, is twice yearly planted with seasonal bedding.

Shrubberies are strategically designed and located to add a sense of mystery and privacy to the gardens.

The rich sights and scents of these marvellous plants play such an important part in the delightful experience of visiting Queen Mary's Gardens. Benches are available for visitors to sit and enjoy the garden.

To see the best blooms visit us in the first two weeks of June.
