Very nice, quiet place with lots of pretty flowers under the tree. There are benches as well. No footpath under the bridge, but you can go on top of it.
Nice and calm with canal no. 5 to get a bite to eat and a coffee
Had a trip planned to London and had picked up a DVD to watch called “Finding Your Feet” with a fav of mine, Timothy Spall. Anyways the conclusion was shot at the Islington Tunnel/Regent Canal. Couldn’t get it out of my mind so had to check it out. Well worth the effort.
This is where you can meet the usual diverse residents of Islington, taking a stroll, or jogging in their latest lycra tracksuit. Or a few feet away, the canal boat residents just might shout a morning greeting to you although it may be gentle abuse if you were peering through their window-- it's very tempting to see how the tougher half live! And Boris the labradoodle enjoys the pathway, with its exotic doggie scents. You can access the pathway from either end, by stairways near Graham Street.
We went on one of the pre arranged tours by the London Canal Museum but you can go through of you have your own boat. Man, it's creepy but fascinating. The only way through was to literally walk your boat through before motorised boats. The inside is full of soot and dust. Well worth a trip
A journey in pitch blackness.This tunnel is very long...so be patient and never panick.Bring a powerful torch and always keep it at hand. A second pair of eyes are also necessary. The isolation experienced at mid point is unique. A good place to practice singing..the acoustic resonance inspires and provokes a need to be heard. Mind your head .
sunny day, water covered in water cress, benches to sit, boats floating by...
No, you can't walk through it... so don't even try! :o Purely for canal boats, but you can follow the path above ground by following the little blue discs they've put into the footpath. Interesting quirk of yesteryear, and worth walking past on the way to the lock just downriver.
Be aware of cyclists on some of these narrow paths. It is shared with pedestrians and not always with good grace. Bells on bikes are helpful and a smile works wonders.
Nice place to walk and relax yourself.
