I figured I'd stick a few more snaps up and a few of my own words.
'The Camden Catacombs are a system of underground passages in Camden Town, constructed in the 19th century. They are not repositories for dead bodies (the dictionary definition of catacombs), but an underground area originally used as stables for horses and pit ponies working on the railways. The catacombs also included an underground pool for canal boats operating on the nearby Regent's Canal'
After last minute plans for a trip to London we filled the car with gear and headed out. Different plans circulated with this being one of them, after all we had packed a single person dingy and some oars. After being shouted at by a little girl for hiding down a pit of rubbish while blowing up the dingy Fishbrain and Millhouse finally set sail - rather sketchily too.
A few dingy trips later brought us to these arches pictured above, the place is pretty vast considering that some of it is bricked up. Everyone got their desired photos and began to pack up, this is when the 'new' raft idea came about.
We found a huge piece of polystyrene that looked like it would float with three of us on it. We launched it and got cracking on trying to reach the centre of the Regents Canal. A successful docking got us onto dry land with the dingy being used to return our faithful raft back to it's original spot.
Thanks to Camden market for providing sweet chicken and noodles to keep us navigating Britain's waterways. Anyhow on to the next spot.
'Cromwell Tower is named after Oliver Cromwell who overthrew Charles the First in the English Civil War and made himself Lord Protector. The balconies of the tower slant outwards from the top to bottom reducing the impression of vertigo on those using them. This was one of the joint three tallest residential towers in the U.K with its partners until the completion of Pan Peninsula in London's docklands in 2009'
After navigating some crazy passageways under what seemed like the whole of the city we were soon sat on the top of this little beauty. Londoners have some nice buildings for sitting on top of, a 400ft high spot with fantastic views over the capital that can be accessed if you wanted too, 24/7.
Big thanks to Fishbrain, Millhouse and Rookie!
