Best city running route available. Start Camden Lock, follow canal east through Islington past Angel, continue through Hackney reaching Victoria Park. About 8 miles total but turn around anywhere convenient.

Completely flat terrain, minimal road crossings, see London parts tourists never visit. Early morning optimal - fewer cyclists and dog walkers. Victoria Park includes proper 5K loop for additional distance.

Toilet facilities Victoria Park and Mile End Park. Water fountains work inconsistently so carry your own. Mind aggressive cyclists during rush hours - they show zero patience.
