King's Cross and the Regent's Canal
About
Stepping off the train at King’s Cross you’d be forgiven for thinking that you’re miles away from any open space or wildlife. However just a short walk away, up St Pancras Road you’ll discover Camley Street Natural Park, a unique two acres of wild green space next to the Regent ’s Canal. The industrial legacy of the canal gave birth to the park which was once a coal store. Find out more about the waterways’ past around the corner at the London Canal Museum where you can explore the 150 year history of these fascinating London landmarks.

Apart from the tranquil waters of the canal, you will see all the newly build flats with the lovely balconies overlooking the canal, a lot of... more
Great green (or blue, I guess) space in the city. Relaxing area for a walk, run, or bike. It could be kept in better repair at certain points. more
I wish there are more places like this in the metropolitan regions in the United States! When I was in London, I spent a couple of afternoons relaxing on the green, grassy steps by the canal. Being here helps remove yourself from the busy urban lifestyle.
