Activity
This 5-mile linear walk explores the Kings Cross Granary Square, Grand Union Canal and Regents Park, ending at the free music festival in the park. From Kings Cross Station we will then explore Granary Square and Coal Drops Yard before picking up the Grand Union Canal. The walk continues west along the canal and into Regents Park, passing the vibrant Camden Lock and its famous market. We will continue into Regents Park and will explore the various gardens including the Rose Garden, secret garden and the new Queen Elizabeth garden as well as the wonderful urns along the avenue. We will make our way to the bandstand for 2pm for some swing lessons and then an opportunity to use your new swing dance skills when the Sid Bolan Band play at 3pm.
Refreshments
Coffee shop at the start and lots of choices on route. Bring a picnic and drinks for the park for a late lunch when we reach the bandstand. Option to bring a picnic blanket or chair (but remember this will need to be carried whilst we walk).
