The Regent’s Canal: King’s Cross-Granary Square-Camden

December 1 @ 14:30 - 16:30

On this walk we will start at the impressive new developments around King’s Cross and St Pancras including two magnificent railway gateways to London. We will see impressive monuments to Victorian enterprise and engineering in the beautifully restored and revived Granary Building and the extraordinary Coal Drops now the home to London’s thriving University of the Arts. You will pass quiet stretches of canal side including the lovely urban oasis of Camley Street Nature Park. See how this area has undergone a massive transformation from declining transport and warehousing hub to a dynamic urban quarter attracting major tech firms like Google which has honoured its industrial heritage. We pass Camden Lock with its vibrant alternative scene and finish our walk close to Camden Town tube. This walk is fundraiser. All takings this walk will go to the Inland Waterways Association to support the restoration and upkeep of Britain’s wonderful heritage of canals.
