Kings Cross to Camden Town via Regents Canal, 2.5miles

• We will meet opposite the Kings Cross Station, at the Kings Cross Square, by the Black Sheep Coffee.
• From here a short walk to St Pancras station to see the statue of Sir John Betjeman. He was an English poet, writer, and broadcaster. He was Poet Laureate from 1972 until his death. He was a founding member of The Victorian Society and a passionate defender of Victorian architecture, helping to save St Pancras railway station from demolition.
• We will then make our way to visit Camley Street Natural Park, which is a unique urban nature reserve. The site was once a coal drop for the railways, and is now managed by London Wildlife Trust.
• We will then carry on via Granary Square and Coal Drops Yard into the Regent's Canal towpath, which was opened in 1816 and runs from Limehouse and Finishes in Paddington.
• Alongside the canal's scenic route watch out for the bookshop on the barge as well as the Victorian gas holder that has been converted into a garden with a circular lawn and a polished steel pavilion (pictured above).
• We will end our walk by the Ice Wharf (Wetherspoons), if we get lucky we might see the Camden Lock in operation. Optional drinks/lunch at the pub. People who would prefer the food from the market can always join us in later the pub.
• Wonderful photo-ops for people who would like to explore the Camden High Street and Camden Market.

What to bring:
Comfortable footwear
Water
Photo-taking gadgets and chargers
An umbrella just in case (it's London after all)

The walk is free for members who have subscribed for an annual membership. For other members the fee is £5 cash/card on arrival to contribute towards the organiser's meetup fees and costs.

The annual pass option is £15 payable by cash/card on the day. This will provide access to at least 40 walks per year (members are welcome to bring a guest to each event).

'No Show' Policy: If the member replied 'yes' but did not attend the event, did not update the RSVP and did not inform the organisers on 3 occasions – this triggers an automatic removal from the group. That's once for events with a waiting list.
