Canal Museum and St. Pancras
If you wish, we can moor outside the London Canal Museum whilst you take a complimentary conducted tour with Alex (a former chairman of the museum trust) as your personal guide (on any day except Monday). The museum, which has the Princess Royal as its patron, gives a fascinating insight into the working history of the Regent’s Canal. At about 11:15 we set off towards St. Pancras, with coffee and chocolate croissants en route. We ascend our first lock to arrive at St. Pancras Yacht Basin, where the new Kings Cross International station stands just inches away from the 200-year old canal architecture. As we leave the Kings Cross area, the canal twists and turns in its approach to Camden, revealing the back and underneath of many places that are normally only seen from the front and sides!
