The City Road Basin is an English canal basin and part of the Regent’s Canal in London owned by British Waterways. It opened in 1820 and made a large contributuion to the prosperity of the Regent’s Canal. By the 1950s its surroundings were largely derelict but a programme of regeneration began in 2004 involving several large-scale residential developments and public access to the basin was provided for the first time in 2009. The basin is used for canoeing by the Islington Boat Club.
