Travel by boat 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.
Our trips are more easily achieved on board one of London's community narrowboats. We use the historic converted working narrowboat Tarporley, for many of these boat trips. A guide from the museum offers you a commentary on the history of the tunnel as you cruise through it.
Prices are £8.40 adult, £6.00 children, including admission to the museum.
