It passes through Mile End, Bethnal Green, (under) Islington, Camden and alongside Regents Park and through the middle of London Zoo. When built it was on the edge of London so all the mains railway lines into London cross the canal to reach Euston, St. Pancras and Kings Cross.
The canal used to pass through some of the worst slums, now these ares have been wped out and replaced with new apartments. There is little left of the industry that once needed the canal but the modern canal is just as important as a leisure facility for the people of London.
It is very popular with cyclists, joggers and runners.
