Jason's Original Canal Boat Trip
Narrow boat trips along Regent's Canal from Little Venice to Camden Lock, offering peaceful waterway journey through London's hidden waterways.
About
Since 1951, Jason's narrowboats have revealed London's hidden waterways between Little Venice and Camden Lock. This 45-minute journey through Regent's Canal transforms perspectives—floating past Regent's Park Zoo, under iron bridges, through Maida Hill tunnel's darkness into Camden's creative chaos.
Canal-Side Discoveries
Commentary reveals canal history from 1820s commercial lifeline to today's leisure route. Spot herons fishing, celebrity houseboats, and Banksy artwork from water level. The 272-yard Maida Hill tunnel plunges boats into candlelit darkness—children shriek, adults photograph reflections.
Camden Lock's manual operation demonstrates 200-year-old engineering still working perfectly. Watch lock-keepers wind paddles, boats rise eight feet, and narrowboat culture thrive among floating gardens and waterside cafes.
