Embrace freedom, paddle your own canoe along London's tranquil waterways and experiencing urban scenery from an unexpected angle - a unique adventure for 2!
WHAT’S THIS ALL ABOUT
It was settlers in Canada who first referenced the phrase ‘paddling your own canoe’.
It implies an independence of spirit. So go with the flow, turn your smartphone off, and engage with the canal.
Experience the joy of simply messing about in a boat. You will be on your own for this one. Pick up your canoe and paddle from Paddington Basin going at a pace that suits you. Your canoe adventure is somewhat less hazardous than the journey of a Canadian settler as you gently paddle up the Grand Union canal . It may take a bit of time to get into your stroke, but before long you will stop thinking about the paddling and turn your gaze to the scenery. And it is fabulous scenery.
TELL ME MORE
Take in the architecture of Little Venice and Maida Vale, then it’s up the Grand Union canal towards Westbourne Park and Ladbroke Grove. This is London at its most unexpected. Glance into back gardens and private spaces that you never knew existed.
Time yourself for the turnaround as it takes the same amount of minutes to get back, and if you aren’t used to canoeing your arms might be feeling a bit less enthusiastic on the home run…...
Stop for lunch or bring a picnic!
