Exploring London

London is obviously a large and varied city that you could spend a lifetime exploring. Following on from our time in Vancouver, we decided to get a set of wheels each and to begin the exploration. But first, breakfast. Mmmm, breakfast. Sweet French Toast and a tasty coffee.

First exploration was a ride along the Regents Canal. Some call it little Venice. I call it a canal. It's about 9 miles long and a great day out for a ride.
These are a typical example of the boats that are on the canal. Some people live in these permanently, others can be hired and some are just abandoned.Of course, there are markets along the route that have piles and piles of food. Savoury
Sweet
More shots of the canalThese canals are only a couple of feet deep. Most are pretty dirty, although people still fish in them. A Loch below.
As with all parts of the London. You can just look at the fascinating buildings that describe the city.
New and old. A school and a factory.
