A linear walk of about four miles. We will travel up the City Road to the City Basin, along the Regent's Canal to Islington where we will explore some of the fine squares before rejoining the canal to King's Cross. Optional visit to Camley Street nature reserve at the end. There are no toilets at Old Street station but there are cafes nearby. We will stop in Islington shopping centre on the way.
