"Run by the Canal Museum near King's Cross, the tour is simple but wonderfully atmospheric - a trip from the museum in a narrowboat through the tunnel to the other end and back again. You embark at the museum, and then there's a brief talk in the boat before heading out into the canal to go through the tunnel. The tours are for small groups, and there's just about enough space in the boat for everyone to sit on the outside."
"The Canal Museum is running two types of trip in December: Mince Pie Cruises - £21.00 These take place on Fridays and Saturdays. The cruise lasts just over an hour and passes through Islington Tunnel before turning and heading to St. Pancras, where they turn again and head back to the museum. A warm fruit drink or tea or coffee are served during the cruise along with a locally-baked mince pie and cream."
"King's Cross Lights by Water - £12.50 Tuesdays only The museum will stay open late, and there will be short trips to St. Pancras and bac,k taking 20-25 minutes from which you will see the plentiful Christmas lights of the King's Cross area. Hot chocolate with cream, tea, or coffee will be served on the boat. Tickets are on sale here."
