There\u2019s a stretch of grass to set up on, with the London Stadium in the background.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While getting ready, curious passers-by often stop to ask what I\u2019m doing or where I\u2019m heading, usually followed by a cheerful \u201cdon\u2019t fall in\u201d. If I\u2019m meeting others arriving by car, it\u2019s an easy place for them to join me, with a car park a 10-min paddle away along the Hertford Union Canal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-hackney-cut-to-olympic-park\"><strong>Hackney Cut to Olympic Park<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"750\" src=\"https:\/\/getoutside39507958bf.blob.core.windows.net\/blobgetoutside39507958bf\/discover\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/east-london-paddleboarding-london-stadium.jpg\" alt=\"East London Paddleboarding-london stadium\" class=\"wp-image-22024\" srcset=\"https:\/\/osmaps.com\/discover\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/east-london-paddleboarding-london-stadium.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/osmaps.com\/discover\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/east-london-paddleboarding-london-stadium-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/osmaps.com\/discover\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/east-london-paddleboarding-london-stadium-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>I paddle this route clockwise, heading towards Old Ford Lock. The Hackney Cut on the Lee Navigation is a vibrant start: converted warehouses, bold graffiti, narrowboats and sometimes music drifting across the water. It\u2019s busy, but that\u2019s part of the appeal. We\u2019re paddling through London, not away from it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"750\" src=\"https:\/\/getoutside39507958bf.blob.core.windows.net\/blobgetoutside39507958bf\/discover\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/east-london-paddleboarding-portage-at-old-ford-lock.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-22026\" srcset=\"https:\/\/osmaps.com\/discover\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/east-london-paddleboarding-portage-at-old-ford-lock.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/osmaps.com\/discover\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/east-london-paddleboarding-portage-at-old-ford-lock-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/osmaps.com\/discover\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/east-london-paddleboarding-portage-at-old-ford-lock-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>At Old Ford Lock, I portage and take a left for a spin around the London Stadium. This optional extension is one of the highlights. The Bow Back Rivers were once industrial, then derelict and overgrown, before being restored for the 2012 Olympic Games.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"750\" src=\"https:\/\/getoutside39507958bf.blob.core.windows.net\/blobgetoutside39507958bf\/discover\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/east-london-paddleboarding-arcelormittal-orbit.jpg\" alt=\"arcelormittal orbit\" class=\"wp-image-22023\" srcset=\"https:\/\/osmaps.com\/discover\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/east-london-paddleboarding-arcelormittal-orbit.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/osmaps.com\/discover\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/east-london-paddleboarding-arcelormittal-orbit-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/osmaps.com\/discover\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/east-london-paddleboarding-arcelormittal-orbit-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The channels here feel more intimate: narrower, edged with reeds, with wildlife gradually returning. Paddling through them offers a unique view of the Olympic Park, with the stadium and the Orbit rising above the water. On match days, more than 60,000 people fill the stadium, so it\u2019s worth planning around the crowds.<\/p>\n\n\n<hr class=\"ad_hr\" role=\"none\">\r\n<div class=\"snippet_inline_obw\">\r\n    <div>\r\n        <h2>EXPLORE WALES WITH OUR NEW OS GUIDEBOOK<\/h2><h4>Plus get a FREE A4 Map of Eryri (limited offer!)<\/h4>\r\n        <a href=\"https:\/\/shop.osmaps.com\/books\/os-outstanding-walks-guidebook-series\/\" class=\"Button Button--red Button--smaller\"><span class=\"Button__text\">FIND OUT MORE<\/span><\/a>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n    <div>\r\n        <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/getoutside39507958bf.blob.core.windows.net\/blobgetoutside39507958bf\/discover\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/new-1.png\" alt=\"OFFER: save 20\" height=\"250\" width=\"250\" \/>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<hr class=\"ad_hr\" role=\"none\">\r\n\r\n<style>\r\n .InnerBlocks .snippet_inline_obw h2 {\r\n    margin-top: 20px;\r\n    margin-bottom: 20px;\r\n}\r\n   \r\n.InnerBlocks .ad_hr {\r\n margin: 20px;\r\n border-color: #9f9f9f;\r\n}\r\n\r\n.snippet_inline_obw {\r\n  display: flex;\r\n  flex-flow: row wrap;\r\n  background-image: linear-gradient(180deg, rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.45) 0%, rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.30) 40%, rgba(0, 0, 0, 0) 50%), url(\"https:\/\/getoutside39507958bf.blob.core.windows.net\/blobgetoutside39507958bf\/discover\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/conwy-mountain-bg.jpg\");\r\n  background-position: center center;\r\n  background-size:cover;\r\n  border-radius: 25px;\r\n}\r\n\r\n.snippet_inline_obw  > div {\r\n  width: 100%;\r\n  padding: 2% 8%;\r\n  color: #ffffff;\r\n  text-align: center;\r\n}\r\n\r\n.snippet_inline_obw  > div:nth-child(2) {\r\n  padding: 0;\r\n  padding-bottom: 0px;\r\n  display: flex;\r\n  justify-content: center;\r\n  align-self: center;\r\n}\r\n\r\n.snippet_inline_obw > div > img {\r\n  width: 100%;\r\n  height: auto;\r\n  max-width: 250px;\r\n}\r\n\r\n.snippet_inline_obw  h2 {\r\n  font-size: 3rem;\r\n  font-weight: 600;\r\n}\r\n\r\n.snippet_inline_obw  p {\r\n  font-size: 2rem;\r\n}\r\n\r\n.snippet_inline_obw  a {\r\n  font-size: 2rem;\r\n}\r\n    \r\n.Button--smaller {\r\n  padding: 8px 20px!important;\r\n}\r\n    \r\n.Button--smaller span {\r\n  font-size: 20px;\r\n}    \r\n\r\n\r\n@media (min-width:50em){\r\n\t\r\n  .snippet_inline_obw {\r\n\t  background-image: linear-gradient(90deg, rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.45) 0%, rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.30) 40%, rgba(0, 0, 0, 0) 50%), url(\"https:\/\/getoutside39507958bf.blob.core.windows.net\/blobgetoutside39507958bf\/discover\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/conwy-mountain-bg.jpg\");\r\n  }\r\n  .snippet_inline_obw  > div {\r\n    width: 50%;\r\n    text-align: left;\r\n  }\r\n  .snippet_inline_obw  h2 {\r\n    font-size: 5rem;\r\n  }\r\n  .snippet_inline_obw  p {\r\n    font-size: 3rem;\r\n  }\r\n}\r\n<\/style>\r\n\r\n\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-lee-navigation-to-limehouse-cut\"><strong>Lee Navigation to Limehouse Cut<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Back on the Lee Navigation, Three Mills Island appears ahead, familiar to many as the setting for <em>MasterChef<\/em>.

In 1770, the Limehouse Cut was built as a shortcut. In boating terms, a \u201ccut\u201d is simply a man-made channel dug through the land.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-limehouse-cut\"><strong>Limehouse Cut<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The Limehouse Cut offers a welcome change: straight, wide and still lock-free. Around Poplar, I often stop for a break. Bartlett Park makes a good halfway point and the pull of e5 Poplar Bakehouse is hard to resist. Sitting outside with a hot drink and a fresh pastry, it feels unreal to be by the old canal with Canary Wharf as a backdrop. A striking contrast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"750\" src=\"https:\/\/getoutside39507958bf.blob.core.windows.net\/blobgetoutside39507958bf\/discover\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/east-london-paddleboarding-limehouse-cut-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-22038\" srcset=\"https:\/\/osmaps.com\/discover\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/east-london-paddleboarding-limehouse-cut-2.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/osmaps.com\/discover\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/east-london-paddleboarding-limehouse-cut-2-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/osmaps.com\/discover\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/east-london-paddleboarding-limehouse-cut-2-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-limehouse-basin-to-regent-s-canal\"><strong>Limehouse Basin to Regent\u2019s Canal<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>At Limehouse Basin, boats sit moored in the marina, with the Thames just beyond the lock.

Heading north, the setting shifts again. This section is more residential, with four lock portages that break up the paddle. Mile End Park brings a greener feel, with open space along the water\u2019s edge.<\/p>\n\n\n<hr class=\"ad_hr\" role=\"none\">\r\n<div class=\"home_hero_20_mix_match\">\r\n    <div>\r\n        <h2>NEW DOG FRIENDLY WALKING GUIDE BOOKS<\/h2><h4>A collection of brand new books from Ordnance Survey<\/h4>\r\n        <a href=\"https:\/\/shop.osmaps.com\/books\/os-short-walks-made-easy-guidebooks\/os-swme-dog-friendly-walks\/\" class=\"Button Button--red Button--smaller\"><span class=\"Button__text\">Shop Now<\/span><\/a>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n    <div>\r\n        <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/getoutside39507958bf.blob.core.windows.net\/blobgetoutside39507958bf\/discover\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/swmedogs.png\" alt=\"OFFER: save 20\" height=\"250\" width=\"250\" \/>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<hr class=\"ad_hr\" role=\"none\">\r\n\r\n<style>\r\n .InnerBlocks .home_hero_20_mix_match h2 {\r\n    margin-top: 20px;\r\n    margin-bottom: 20px;\r\n}\r\n   \r\n.InnerBlocks .ad_hr {\r\n margin: 20px;\r\n border-color: #9f9f9f;\r\n}\r\n\r\n.home_hero_20_mix_match {\r\n  display: flex;\r\n  flex-flow: row wrap;\r\n  background-image:  linear-gradient(180deg, rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.45) 0%, rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.30) 40%, rgba(0, 0, 0, 0) 50%), url(\"https:\/\/getoutside39507958bf.blob.core.windows.net\/blobgetoutside39507958bf\/discover\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/dog-in-peak-district.jpg\");\r\n  background-position: center center;\r\n  background-size:cover;\r\n  border-radius: 25px;\r\n}\r\n\r\n.home_hero_20_mix_match  > div {\r\n  width: 100%;\r\n  padding: 2% 8%;\r\n  color: #ffffff;\r\n  text-align: center;\r\n}\r\n\r\n.home_hero_20_mix_match  > div:nth-child(2) {\r\n  padding: 0;\r\n  padding-bottom: 0px;\r\n  display: flex;\r\n  justify-content: center;\r\n  align-self: center;\r\n}\r\n\r\n.home_hero_20_mix_match > div > img {\r\n  width: 100%;\r\n  height: auto;\r\n  max-width: 250px;\r\n}\r\n\r\n.home_hero_20_mix_match  h2 {\r\n  font-size: 3rem;\r\n  font-weight: 600;\r\n}\r\n\r\n.home_hero_20_mix_match  p {\r\n  font-size: 2rem;\r\n}\r\n\r\n.home_hero_20_mix_match  a {\r\n  font-size: 2rem;\r\n}\r\n    \r\n.Button--smaller {\r\n  padding: 8px 20px!important;\r\n}\r\n    \r\n.Button--smaller span {\r\n  font-size: 20px;\r\n}    \r\n\r\n\r\n@media (min-width:50em){\r\n  .home_hero_20_mix_match {\r\n    background-image:  linear-gradient(90deg, rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.45) 0%, rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.30) 40%, rgba(0, 0, 0, 0) 50%), url(\"https:\/\/getoutside39507958bf.blob.core.windows.net\/blobgetoutside39507958bf\/discover\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/dog-in-peak-district.jpg\");\r\n  }\r\n  .home_hero_20_mix_match  > div {\r\n    width: 50%;\r\n    text-align: left;\r\n  }\r\n  .home_hero_20_mix_match  h2 {\r\n    font-size: 5rem;\r\n  }\r\n  .home_hero_20_mix_match  p {\r\n    font-size: 3rem;\r\n  }\r\n}\r\n<\/style>\r\n\r\n\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-hertford-union-canal\"><strong>Hertford Union Canal<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/getoutside39507958bf.blob.core.windows.net\/blobgetoutside39507958bf\/discover\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/east-london-paddleboarding-portage-at-hertford-union-canal-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-22029\" srcset=\"https:\/\/osmaps.com\/discover\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/east-london-paddleboarding-portage-at-hertford-union-canal-768x1025.jpg 768w, https:\/\/osmaps.com\/discover\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/east-london-paddleboarding-portage-at-hertford-union-canal-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/osmaps.com\/discover\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/east-london-paddleboarding-portage-at-hertford-union-canal-810x1080.jpg 810w, https:\/\/osmaps.com\/discover\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/east-london-paddleboarding-portage-at-hertford-union-canal.jpg 1000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The final section, the Hertford Union Canal, is short but full of character. Built as another shortcut, it links Regent\u2019s Canal back to the Lee Navigation. The canal runs alongside Victoria Park, with gardens reaching down to the water\u2019s edge. It offers a glimpse into ordinary London life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The three locks, Top, Middle and Bottom, mark the final effort. Between them, the walls are layered with murals and graffiti, constantly changing and turning the canal into an open-air gallery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-finish-back-to-hackney-wick\"><strong>Finish: Back to Hackney Wick<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"750\" src=\"https:\/\/getoutside39507958bf.blob.core.windows.net\/blobgetoutside39507958bf\/discover\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/east-london-paddleboarding-fish-island-in-hackney-wick.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-22050\" srcset=\"https:\/\/osmaps.com\/discover\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/east-london-paddleboarding-fish-island-in-hackney-wick.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/osmaps.com\/discover\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/east-london-paddleboarding-fish-island-in-hackney-wick-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/osmaps.com\/discover\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/east-london-paddleboarding-fish-island-in-hackney-wick-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>I complete the loop back at Hackney Wick, having seen East London from a completely different perspective: its waterways. That sense of calm stays with me even after stepping off the board and packing up. That familiar Blue Mind feeling lingers. I find a spot by the canal, something to eat, something to drink and let the paddle sink in.

A former co-owner of Paddleboarding London, she previously ran SUP lessons and guided tours. Anu has now drawn on that experience and local knowledge to write her first guidebook, Paddle London.<\/p>\n<p>With over a decade spent exploring the capital from the water, Anu paddles year-round. She writes about her adventures on her blog, <a href=\"https:\/\/mysupstories.com\/\">My SUP Stories<\/a>, bringing together routes, the people she meets and practical SUP tips.<\/p>\n<p>Anu is passionate about showing how accessible paddling can be in London, often travelling by public transport with her inflatable board. She believes in the restorative power of water, whether paddling or sitting in a sauna. On the board, she\u2019s always spotting street art, canal boat names, bridges, pylons and gasholders, and she\u2019s convinced cinnamon buns are an ideal SUP snack.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/article>\n\t\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Try
