Beneath the streets of north London, a narrow waterway runs quietly from Paddington to Limehouse — eight and a half miles of still, dark water moving through neighbourhoods most people only know by name. Tonight, Frank tells the slow, gentle history of Regent's Canal: how a proposal in 1802 became one of London's most quietly remarkable feats of engineering, and how it still winds through the city today.

You'll drift through the story of Thomas Homer's original vision, the Regent's Canal Act of 1812, and the grand ambitions of architect John Nash, who wove the waterway into his masterplan for Regent's Park. From the opening of the first section in 1816 — including tunnels beneath Maida Hill and Lisson Grove — to the completion of the full route in 1820, this is a history told slowly, unhurriedly, the way all the best canal journeys are made.

Along the way, Frank pauses at the basins: Cumberland, Battlebridge, City Road, Wenlock, Kingsland. He lingers in the darkness of the Islington Tunnel, nearly nine hundred metres of quiet brickwork beneath the city. And he traces what the canal carried — coal, timber, stone, grain — before trade shifted, the boats fell quiet, and the waterway found a new kind of life.

This is a sleep podcast for anyone who loves quiet history, old places, and the slow movement of water through a city at rest. Settle in, breathe slowly, and let the canal carry you off to sleep. A calming episode to help you relax and fall asleep.
