Indeed.
http://www.walkit.com/london is a great resource for giving walking directions if you're so inclined.

Ah, the suicidal (or should that be homicidal) cyclists on the Regents Canal in N1. You know the speed limit for bikes on the canalside walkway is only 4 MPH? When I lived there, I used to be a right old git and walk slowly right down the middle of the walkway. I know it's nasty but at least it kept people from flying down the walkway three times as fast as they should have been.

Analise, don't let that put you off.
