Overview

From King's Cross we'll join the Regent's Canal in the regenerated Coal Drops Yard behind the station.  Heading east, we follow the towpath joining the pavement to pass through Capel Market in Islington before rejoining the towpath heading into Hackney.  There will be a comfort stop in Victoria Park (toilets and coffee hut) before walking the extra mile to Limehouse Basin which connects to the Thames. Return along the same route to Kings Cross/St Pancras.   Packed lunch or a cafe option for lunch.
