Camley Street Natural Park is bounded on one side by the Regent’s Canal.  The canal is one of London’s best-kept secrets-a peaceful haven often hidden by the surrounding buildings.  Today it is well-loved by boaters, cyclists and walkers all looking to escape the capital’s busy streets.

A few years ago, librarian Luke Guilford decided to give up his job and turn his passion for vinyl into a business.  Unable to afford London rents, Guilford turned his houseboat into a floating second-hand record and bookshop.

We met him on the Regent’s Canal and spent a happy hour browsing – another gem of London.
