The Grand Union Canal is Britain's longest canal, running 137 miles from London to Birmingham. This map covers the eastern end from Milton Keynes to London including the Aylesbury, Wendover and Slough branches. It also incorporates the London and East London Rings. This map starts in Milton Keynes, on exiting the city it heads south westwards through Buckinghamshire, Hertfordshire, and the Chilterns before reaching Hemel Hempstead and Kings Langley before passing beneath the M25.

The canal turns south skirting the edge of Greater London passing through the Colne Valley Park to Uxbridge before reaching Cowley Peachy Junction. Here the main line heads west into the capital, whilst the Slough branch heads eastwards.

Just past Hayes, the Paddington branch heads north from Bull's Bridge Junction, then through West London along 14 lock-free miles of waterway to Paddington and Little Venice, whilst the main line continues onto Brentford and the Thames.

At Little Venice the Regent's Canal continues west passing through Regent's Park, past London Zoo's aviary, onto Camden and its famous market, before heading into the East End and finally joining the River Thames at the Limehouse Basin.
