GETTING THERE AND BACK

ROUTE AND REFRESHMENTS
Starting from Kings Cross Station we will detour briefly to the British Library for a brief Coffee/Toilet Stop, before continuing to the London Canal Museum. There is a small charge of £2 for entry (PLEASE CHECK WEBSITE FOR CURRENT INFORMATION). Facilities are limited with only 1 Toilet, and no Coffee Shop, but the Museum provides an interesting insight into life on the Canal, and is well worth spending a short time to look around.

The route along the canal to Camden Market is an interesting stretch of just under 2 miles. The Late Lunch Stop will be at Camden Lock Market - Toilets here cost 40p. Toilets are however available at the Ice Wharf pub over the footbridge from the Market.

The route then continues along the canal as far as the bottom of Primrose Hill. Yes, you’ve guessed it – the only way to see the view is to climb the Hill. There will be time to spend in the delightful village of Primrose Hill before finishing at Chalk Farm station.
