The Regents Canal - Camden - Hampstead Road, Kentish Town and Hawley locks
The canal at the top of Camden Market. On the left is the Pirate Castle. The entrance 2 the disused Dead Dog basin is on right
Note: Dead Dog basin gave boats access to an underground wharf which formed part of the Camden horse tunnels. Part of the tunnels on a lower level are open and this is actually to the north east of the basin as well as being on the lower levels. The tunnels that lead from the basin are on a part of the upper levels which are not open to the public.

The last departure of the day from Camden to Little Venice watched by several onlookers
The former extent of Dingwalls basin can be clearly seen where the timber decking lies
Hampstead Road locks - the only double pair left on the canal. Its very busy with markets and shops and coffee bars. The white castellated building used to be the lock keepers house.
Since the major fire a couple of years ago, the whole frontage at Hawley Lock has changed and the market is now practically on the towpath
Kentish Town at the bottom of Camden locks. The building on the right with the eggshells was once the TV-am studios
The location is by Hawley Road Lock, which is the bottom of the three locks in the Camden flight. It took me a long time to getting round to replacing that Tanranchewer pic which means not one Th21 pic on this site now!
