Join me on an Relaxing London Nature walk along Regent's Canal, starting from the beautiful Victoria Park. I begin my journey at Victoria Park and head westward along the Regent's Canal. This afternoon walk is bustling with families and friends enjoying the lovely weather. As I continue west, I encounter commuters heading home from work, as well as a few disgruntled cyclists. • #london #londonwalk #canalwalk #canal #naturewalk • HISTORY/ ABOUT: • Regent's Canal is a canal across an area just north of central London, England. It provides a link from the Paddington Arm of the Grand Union Canal, 550 yards (500 m) north-west of Paddington Basin in the west, to the Limehouse Basin and the River Thames in east London. The canal is 8.6 miles (13.8 km) long. • Due to the increase in cycle commuting from London being more environmentally aware, the canal's towpath has become a busy cycle route for commuters. National Cycle Route 1 includes the stretch along the canal towpath from Limehouse Basin to Mile End. British Waterways carried out several studies into the effects of sharing the towpath between cyclists and pedestrians, all of which have concluded that despite the limited width there were relatively few problems at the time of the audits. More recently, in 2019, The Guardian reported on instances of conflict between pedestrians and cyclists. • Victoria Park (known colloquially as Vicky Park or the People's Park) is a park in the London Borough of Tower Hamlets in East London, England. • It is the largest park in Tower Hamlets and one of London's most visited green spaces with approximately 9 million visitors every year. The park spans 86.18 hectares (213.0 acres) of open space and opened to the public in 1845. • In the latter half of the 19th Century, Victoria Park became an essential amenity for the working classes of the East End. For some East End children in the 1880s, this may have been the only large stretch of uninterrupted greenery they ever encountered. Facilities like the Bathing Pond (picture right) —later superseded by the park lido—would have introduced many to swimming in an era when many public baths (like that at Shacklewell) were still simply communal washing facilities. • During the Second World War, Victoria Park was largely closed to the public and effectively became one huge Ack-Ack (anti-aircraft) site. The gun emplacements conveniently straddled the path of German Luftwaffe bombers looping north west after attacking the docks and warehouses further south in what is now Tower Hamlets, and so the park was of some strategic importance. • Victoria Park's reputation as the 'People's Park' grew as it became a centre for political meetings and rallies, perhaps exceeding in importance than the more well-known Hyde Park in this regard. The park occupies much of the space between Tower Hamlets — experiencing poverty in the 19th century and with a tradition of socialist and revolutionary agitation — and Hackney, more genteel, but heir to a legacy of religious dissent and non-conformism that led to its own brand of reformism. So there was a lot of activity at Speaker's Corners. • Although any one could set up their own soapbox, the biggest crowds were usually drawn to 'star' socialist speakers such as William Morris and Annie Besant. • FUN FACTS: • Appears in the 2004 film Spivs by Colin Teague, starring Rita Ora • Appears in the 2014 film Good People starring James Franco and Kate Hudson. • Chapters: • 0:00 - Chinese Pagoda (Victoria Park) • 0:37 - Victoria Park • 8:23 - Regent's Canal (Hackney) • 20:08 - Acton's Lock / Regent's Canal (Haggerston) • 38:43 - Regent's Canal (De Beauvoir Town) • 48:47 - Sturt's Lock / Regent's Canal (Islington) • As a new channel, your likes, comments, and subscriptions mean a lot, so please hit the subscribe button if you would like to see more :)
