Cruises aboard Narrowboat Helix on the Regent’s Canal
Our most popular cruise starts at 10:00 a.m, taking you from City Road in North London to Little Venice, and back to Camden. Allowing for a visit to the London Canal Museum and stopping for lunch this lasts about six hours; but the timings are flexible, so you never need to feel rushed. We can offer longer or shorter cruises to suit your timetable, evening cruises or you might even choose to go in the other direction. Let us know and we can tailor your trip to suit you. However, the itinerary below is deservedly the most popular, because it takes in some of the most attractive parts of London’s waterways. This cruise is priced at £140 per person including meals.

A longer cruise
If you wish to spend a few more hours exploring Westwards, we can offer an extended cruise heading out as far as Stonebridge, where an aqueduct carries the canal over the North Circular Road. Standing on the bank of the aqueduct in the midst of what appears to be leafy countryside, you can look down on six lanes of roadway and watch the frantic buzz of the traffic below! This cruise lasts around eight hours, includes afternoon tea and is priced at £160 per person.
