St Pancras and around

What a great walk! I especially enjoyed the contrast between new and interesting Kings Cross area and the almost rural Regents canal. Lovely weather lots of us and very well managed. Getting us through Camden market was impressive. And a delicious meal in a lovely environment. So many thanks, happy Christmas and new year, l
