It wasn't until I arrived at Broadway Market that I realized that the Regents Canal ran adjacent to it, so had not factored it in to my journey. I new from previous walks along the canal that it went through Islington, however I had only previously walked it from the Little Venice to the west side of the Islington tunnel where you have to leave the tow path as you are not allowed to walk through the tunnel. So this was a happy find and made for a pleasant last leg of the journey. After the hustle and bustle walking through the main roads and side streets of London, not always sure where I was going it made a nice relaxing change just knowing eventually I would come to the end. Some parts of the canal are quite picturesque, others what you would expect from a canal through a large city. All along the canal their are people living in barges, some selling things, others doing bicycle repairs. All in all it was a pleasant walk. No idea how long it took me, inside an hour I would think. I finally arrived at the exit for Angel (Islington) as the area is known, and within 5 minutes Angel tube station was in sight.
