Why it's Wildland
3.1A slender new crossing over Regent’s Canal, with views towards St Pancras Lock and a convenient link between Camley Street, Gasholder Park and the towpath.
Somers Town Bridge is a useful waterside crossing rather than a nature destination in its own right. Its appeal is the canal view and the way it opens up a short walk beside the water in the heart of King’s Cross.
