I know what you’re thinking: “A canal walk? That sounds like a Sunday with my grandpa.” Wrong. This is the chillest escape from the tube’s sardine vibe. Start at Little Venice (yes, it’s as charming as it sounds) and follow the water north to Camden.
You’ll pass narrowboats painted like floating hippie cottages, and maybe see a heron looking superior. It’s quiet, it’s green, and it ends at Camden Lock Market—which is basically a circus of vintage clothes, punky jewelry, and the best falafel you’ll ever eat. Compare it to finding a secret level in a video game.
