British Waterways London
British Waterways London has made significant progress on the regeneration of one of London's most impressive canal locations. The opening of this waterside location provides a new focus for use by local communities and visitors for the first time in its 200 year history.
Future phases of development are underway, which will add greater vibrancy to the area by creating further homes and places to work. Once complete Paddington Basin will once again be a major boating destination for London with links to Camden, King's Cross, Islington, Limehouse, Stratford and Docklands. A new mix of shops, cafes, restaurants, visiting narrowboats, community boats, business barges, water taxis, trip boats and floating galleries will bring life to this historic waterspace.
JENA, the Paddington information boat managed by British Waterways London, is moored outside Subway Sandwich Bar at PaddingtonCentral. The boat is open Monday to Friday from 10 a.m. to 4.30 p.m. and provides local and waterway information to boaters and the general public.
At Paddington Waterside British Waterways lead the local schools workshops programme as part of National Construction Week, supporting local charity Beauchamp the Floating Classroom, and participate in regular fundraising activities, sponsoring events such as the popular Dragon Boat racing.
