Very nice varied, relatively quiet walk. All 3 routes I walked today were plagued by building and/or road works,but easy to walk around.

For a city centre route, this is a gem. The route is easy to follow and runs for more than a third of its length on the canal tow path. There are several road crossings, but they are all with the aid of traffic lights or zebra crossings. A lovely route in daylight, but I would be nervous on a dark winter's evening.

Walked from Camden to St Pancras (I skipped the last bit to the underground station but have done that many times before). Very enjoyable, especially the canal section which was new to me.

There is no point in writing a more detailed review when there are so many reviews already, and the route is very easy to follow. My only very minor criticism is that the GPX file does not clearly indicate how the canal is accessed from the bridges. At both of these, the shortest route involves steps.

This short route followed quiet streets, almost instantly escaping the bustle of Camden. It soon reached the canal towpath, only accessible by a flight of steps. There were lots of moored boats and lots of graffiti, but it was all quite pleasant.
After a short time I left the towpath again via more stairs, to follow a quiet road under the railway, with the Gasholder Park and Coal Drops Yard being just the other side of the canal. A walk along the side of St Pancras Station brought me round to the front of King's Cross Station.
This was a pleasant, quiet, and simple route, avoiding main roads. It was a pity that there were only stairs (as far as I could make out) to access the canal towpath, which reduces the accessibility of an otherwise good route.

Our Goodgym group connected to this route from outside Granary Square (including the steps to the Regent's Canal), and following out to Camden Lock and Camden Town Underground station. A fine walk along a beautiful waterside. Camley Nature Reserve, Coal Drops Yard, Gasholder Park and Camden Lock are certain highlights on the journey. Some different spots of navigate (just the path squeezes down to single file under bridges).

I walked this route from Camden to Kings Cross. I really enjoyed this walk.

I started first at Camden Market, a bit off-route, and then met up with the route at the start point. It follows quiet streets through residential neighbourhoods before connecting up with the canal. Canal walking is always pleasant!

Then, off the canal, the route follows somewhat an unexpected series of streets in behind King’s Cross and St Pancras stations, but it worked perfectly and I had no problem following it as plotted. The route was perfectly safe and pleasant!.

I walked from King's Cross to Camden. This was very easy to follow, generally pleasant and once leaving the canal, used lovely quiet streets. I especially appreciated that the underpass under the railway (just past St Pancras) was clean and well-lit - this made it feel very safe.

A good way to make the short walk from Camden to Kings Cross. Good use of the canal which is well used by the locals.

I have always enjoyed walking around this are of London, the area to the north of Kings Cross station is great for cafes restaurants and bars and more and more retail options keep moving into the area.
The Regents Canal flows runs through this slow way which is a lovely piece of London to roam, you can also connect through overground to Angel and continue on the toe path all the way to Stratford or Paddington.

Short and sweet - Camkin one connects Kings Cross station to Camden Town efficiently along Regent's Canal. It notably does not include Camley Park or St. Pancras gardens, but it would be easy to peel off and explore these green areas. The Canal has a ramp for access only on the Kings Cross side, so don't fully commit to the route if you don't want to navigate 20 or so stairs. And be careful- the canal walkway is very slippery when wet.
