I hear of people getting mugged on the canal near Mile End (not too far from City Road) quite frequently, as the climbing wall I go to is the first place the victims often go for help.
A friend was cycling down the canal at last night when five youths jumped out and tried to wrest his bike from him. He ended up in the canal with his bike, they ran off after a bit of a shouting match.
Best to avoid the canal at night time really.
