Manager recommends:
We are approximately 20 minutes’ walk away from Camden Town, mainly known for its lock, canal, market and alternative music venues. You can start at Granary Square and walk along the canal all the way to the market. You can either continue to Regent’s Park, walk past the aviary of the London Zoo, and end up in Little Venice for a nice coffee or cocktail.
