Covering the eastern end of the Grand Union Canal, this map spans from Milton Keynes to London and includes the Aylesbury, Wendover, and Slough Arms, as well as the London and East London Rings. At a length of 137 miles, the Grand Union Canal is the longest canal in Britain. Starting in Milton Keynes, it heads southwest through Buckinghamshire, Hertfordshire, and the Chilterns, passes Hemel Hempstead and Kings Langley, and eventually goes under the M25.
The canal turns south, skirting the edge of Greater London, and passes through the Colne Valley Park to reach Uxbridge before reaching Cowley Peachy Junction. From here, the main line heads west into the capital, while the Slough Arm heads eastwards. Just past Hayes, the Paddington Arm heads north from Bull’s Bridge Junction, passing through West London along 14 lock-free miles of waterway to Paddington and Little Venice, while the main line continues on to Brentford and the Thames.
At Little Venice, the Regent’s Canal continues west, passing through Regent’s Park and beyond towards the London Canal Museum, which is well worth a visit.
