Activity of the week
Summer Tunnel Boat Trips 2022
📅 When: Selected Fridays and Sundays until October
📍 Where: London Canal Museum, 12/13 New Wharf Rd, London N1 9RT
🎟️ Tickets £12.00, book here
Enjoy a boat trip through Islington tunnel on The Regent's Canal, opened in 1820 and around three quarters of a mile in length. When it first opened, boats had to be pushed through by a process of "legging" where men lay on the boat and pushed against the walls with their legs. A guide from the museum offers you a commentary on the history of the tunnel as you cruise through it. All trips include free museum admission.
