Reminders Of The Queen’s Golden Jubilee In London

Following on from my recent post on the Silver Jubilee of 1977, I thought I would jump forward twenty five years to the Queen’s Golden Jubilee, and take a look at what physical reminders you can still find here and there in London.

Canal Walk #4 – Camden Town To Little Venice

Continuing my occasional series of walks along London’s extensive canal network, earlier today I ventured along the stretch of the Regent’s Canal between Camden Town and Little Venice, where it connects with the Grand Union Canal’s Paddington Arm that eventually joins the main canal network a further thirteen or so miles away.
