As we moved further away from Paddington and Little Venice, there were stretches of the canal that looked much more peaceful, more rural. I can see the attraction of floating silently along the canal, going from the shade of the trees to the sun... but the idea of being stuck on a boat, in the dead of winter somehow does not appeal much

Not sure what these monsters were... can't imagine anyone living inside of these. They look like they've been made out of some huge gas tank.... I really wish someone would enlighten me.

This one was slowly heading toward the Paddington basin. Definitely one of the better kept ones.

Many people live on barges along the canal. Some of the barges definitely look better than others. There are some strict rules about mooring.
