What year did duke of bridgewater invent the first canal in London?
He didn't. The Duke of Bridgewater had a canal built from his coal mines in Worsley to the centre of Manchester. This is not in London. The first part of his canal opened in 1763. He didn't invent canals, though. The Sankey Canal near Warrington had already opened a few years earlier. The Duke went to look at the Canal du Midi in France and the Newry Canal in Ireland, which were older. The Exeter Ship Canal had opened back in 1566 and a number of canals were built in England by the Romans, including the Foss Dyke,which is still in use, between Lincoln and the River Trent.

Where and when was the first canal built in Britain?
It is commonly held that the first canal built in Britain was the Bridgewater Canal, commissioned by Francis Egerton, the third Duke of Bridgewater to carry coal from his mines at Worsley in Lancashire into the industrial areas of the city of Manchester. The engineer was James Brindley and it was seen as a miracle of the early industrial age. It opened in July 1761 and has its place in history as the first true canal to be built in Britain in that it did not follow an existing natural watercourse. There are counter claims that the Sankey Canal, which was also built primarily to transport coal to serve the growing Liverpool chemical industry, was actually the first but there is no doubt that it was the Bridgewater Canal, or the "Duke's Cut", was the one that inspired an era of canal building that continued until the 1830s.
