Reviews of Islington Tunnel

O. L.

Very nice, quiet place with lots of pretty flowers under the tree. There are benches as well. No footpath under the bridge, but you can go on top of it.

B. R.

Nice and calm with canal no. 5 to get a bite to eat and a coffee

This is where you can meet the usual diverse residents of Islington, taking a stroll, or jogging in their latest lycra tracksuit. Or a few feet away, the canal boat residents just might shout a morning greeting to you( although it may be gentle abuse if you were peering through their window-- it's very tempting to see how the tougher half live!) And Boris the labradoodle enjoys the pathway, with its exotic doggie scents. You can access the pathway from either end, by stairways near Graham Street.

Had a trip planned to London and had picked up a DVD to watch called “Finding Your Feet” with a fav of mine, Timothy Spall. Anyways the conclusion was shot at the Islington Tunnel/Regent Canal. Couldn’t get it out of my mind so had to check it out. Well worth the effort.

My fav place for pictures, beautiful

Be aware of cyclists on some of these narrow paths. It is shared with pedestrians and not always with good grace. Bells 🔔 on bikes are helpful and a 😃 smile works wonders.

Such a lovely vibe down the canal, places to sit and eat and drink, and hire boats

A journey in pitch blackness.This tunnel is very long...so be patient and never panick.Bring a powerful torch and always keep it at hand. A second pair of eyes are also necessary. The isolation experienced at mid point is unique. A good place to practice singing..the acoustic resonance inspires and provokes a need to be heard. Mind your head .

We went on one of the pre arranged tours by the London Canal Museum but you can go through of you have your own boat. Man, it's creepy but fascinating. The only way through was to literally walk your boat through before motorised boats. The inside is full of soot and dust. Well worth a trip

The Islington tunnel is great place to start your walk as it can take you right into trendy East London bypassing some great cafes and shops along the canal. If you are a fan of narrow boat like myself this just might be one of the more pleasant walks you can treat yourself and your pet or friends to with out too much planning involved.

sunny day, water covered in water cress, benches to sit, boats floating by...

A. R.

Nice place to walk and relax yourself.

O. S.

Nice walkway along the canal with a few benches available too. Gets lots of sun in the summer although beware, its a little narrow...

G. C.

No, you can't walk through it... so don't even try! :o) Purely for canal boats, but you can follow the path above ground by following the little blue discs they've put into the footpath. Interesting quirk of yesteryear, and worth walking past on the way to the lock just downriver.

Very handy, this tunnel. I'd it wasn't there you'd have to carry your boat over the little Angel Hill or go via the Thames. It's dead straight, has got its own ghost, it's free to use (for boats with their own propulsion, not for rowers!), what more could you want? Okay, they could have painted it nicely, privided lighting all along and put some bumper strips in place to protect your boat's paintwork from scratches, but that's it :)

Victorian Engineering at its best. Rumoured to contain at least one branch canal with a wharf underneath Islington metalworks. No unpowered boat (canoes etc) access allowed sadly..

Take ride along the canel through one of the hearts of London. This is a grear night out and a great way to experience historic England while in London.

Cool experience going through it in the boat....Will you make it through!

M. S.

Beautiful place to visit and the tour guide was excellent and offered great River tours. Good value for money.

G. P. M.

Usually go there to chill and grab lunch with friends. It's usually quiet and gives you a break from the city with all the green and water around you.

Went on a Sunday morning canal boat trip organised by the London Canal Museum, fascinating history of the waterways... well worth it!

r. w.

Peaceful worth a look the whole canal walk is worthy

M. K.

It is almost 1 km of length and quite mysterious, full of shades and sounds but... with a light at the end of the tunnel ;)

m. p.
