A canal boat hotspot, Camden and the surrounding north London locale tempt passers-by with visions of traditional, colourfully-painted barges. While many of these are privately-owned a handful offer public trips up and down this stretch of the Regent's Canal. Jenny Wren, a pretty, traditional narrowboat, regularly runs 1.5 hour round trips from Walker's Quay in Camden up to London Zoo and Regent's Park, through the Maida Hill Tunnel and onto Little Venice and the so-called Robert Browing Island. A canopy keeps passengers dry on rainy days, an informed commentary provides an informative backdrop while The Waterside restaurant at Walker's Quay provides picnics for hungry travellers.
