Regent’s Canal Boats

Canal Boats, originally uploaded by BelchSpeak.

I was on walkabout in central London yesterday and stumbled across a curious site in what is one of the more upscale portions of the city. Regent’s canal used to be a primary way of shuttling goods across town. Now it serves as what looks like a floating bunch of houseboats. All of them are built to be able to navigate through some of the tunnels, and judging by the amount of junk and home cooking going on, it really looks like a floating trailer park.
