Tips for London (N1)?

[rich4930]

Haven’t lived in the UK for many years, let alone London, so absolute no plan here...

A mate of mine is coming over to London next April, for a gig and thinking about taking in a bit of good British fishing while there. Has anyone got any tips where he could go to in London. Obviously, will need to be somewhere with day tickets. Not a carp guy, just regular pleasure angler.

Thanks in advance for any tips!

An area would be useful? lots of waters spread around over a large area.

Without wishing to rain on your friends parade I’d be surprised if he is able to attend a gig next April. If it’s later in the year you’ll also have the Thames to fish (other rivers and canals are available).

I've nt been to Lonfon for quite some time but you might look at places like:

Clapham Common pond
Tooting Common pond
Epping Forest has a lot of ponds
Walthamstow Reservoirs, Tottenham

Alright, thanks for the suggestions! Turns out he‘s already checked it out a bit, but those places would certainly be roughly the right area. He‘s staying somewhere near Haggerston, N1 if I understand right.

What’s the score with Regent’s Canal, is that fishable?

As for the gig issue, in April.. well I did raise an eyebrow too when he mentioned it. Personally I’d be a bit surprised too, but who knows..

Walthamstow reservoirs are just up the A10 from Haggerstone,.


The canal ....

Top places to fish for £22

Our Waterway Wanderers permit gives anglers access to miles of canal fishing in England and Wales for just £22. John Ellis, national fisheries & angling manager, has put together this list of the top places to fish in the Waterway Wanderers scheme.

And that’s with the £22 Waterway Wanderers permit if I’m not mistaken?

The Regents canal is your nearest fishable location with scope for perch and pike fishing using various methods. In ”theory” you should have a waterways permit, the chances of being asked to produce it are extremely remote but I didn’t tell you that.?
