点评:The Grand Union Canal links London to Birmingham and it passes through beautiful countryside, industrial towns and small, picturesque villages. A friend and I recently did a nearly 3-hour walk from Uxbridge to Rickmansworth along the canal and we had a great time. On the way we enjoyed the quiet and solitude of the countryside, the sight of elegant boats going up the river, and the opportunity to admire some splendid large houses near the canal.
My friend and I have gone on many walks in and around London and I can honestly say that aside from a couple of walks we did in Richmond, this is the most picturesque "London" walk that we've ever done. Do take note that there aren't many, if any, toilets along the way and there are few benches, but once you get to Rickmansworth, you can easily find toilets and you'll also be able to take the Metropolitan tube line back to London.

我和朋友在伦敦及其周边地区进行过多次散步,我可以坦诚地说,除了在里士满的几次散步之外,这是我们经历过的最风景如画的“伦敦”式散步。请注意,沿途厕所不多,甚至没有,长椅也很少。但到达里克曼斯沃斯后,你很容易找到厕所,还可以乘坐大都会地铁线返回伦敦。
