London's Waterways

London is graced with many canals, created originally to drive the engine of industry, shifting heavy loads easily and cheaply. London couldn't have been built without them, and now they are playing their part building the 2012 arena. And being London, pubs shuffle up against them and turn into very pleasant places to sit and while away a few winter hours, with sun and not much warmth. This is the Narrow Boat, in Islington.
