Largely this is a story of Victorian development and subsequent social change. The easiest break-off point during the walk - just over half-way - would be when we leave the towpath in Primrose Hill. The 274 bus (the 'Zoo-bus') will take you to various tube stations: travelling one way to Camden Town (which has both Tube & the Overground line to Stratford) and on to Islington Angel, the other way to Baker Street and Marble Arch.
