A canal-side walk with pub pitstops that starts in Limehouse has been named as one of the best in London.
The walk route by Regent's Canal has gained one of the six spots on a list by Muddy Stilettos, joined by a stroll by the Southbank and the Hampstead Heath Circular.
The Regent's Canal walk begins in the Limehouse Basin, a body of water dug in the 19th century.
According to Muddy Stilettos, the entire walk stretches around nine miles but can be shortened accordingly.
In Narrow Street, Limehouse survives a 16th century pub that emerged unscathed from the Blitz.
It has a Victorian long bar and oil painting adorned walls.
According to the pub, The Dickens Snug is so named after "the author himself is reputed to have danced on the tables".
The pub appears to have inspired a number of famed writers in their works, including Arthur Conan Doyle and Oscar Wilde.
After a pitstop, walkers follow the canal along Mile End and past Victoria Park, continuing on beyond Bethnal Green in the direction of Islington.
Once you reach Islington, you can continue on to The Narrowboat pub that sits by the canal in St Peter's Street.
From here, the canal meanders through Camden where The Constitution pub standing at three storeys tall can become the third pitstop of the walk.

The watering hole is not only on the canal towpath, but also offers a year-round terrace.
The walk comes to an end in Little Venice, by which point Muddy Stilettos claims that several landmarks would have been spotted.
These include the Mile End Park ecology ponds, London Canal Museum and the underpass in Primrose Hill opposite London Zoo.
