Your Custom Route
Follow the numbered pins below.
Dishoom King's Cross
Just a 5-minute walk from St Pancras station. Skip the standard cafe pastries and start your day with their legendary Bacon Naan Roll and a cup of bottomless house chai. It's an iconic London food experience rooted in Bombay cafe culture.
Regent's Canal Towpath Walk
Walk off the breakfast by heading behind King's Cross to Granary Square, and drop down onto the Regent's Canal Towpath. This peaceful, car-free walking route takes you straight into the heart of Camden, passing colorful narrowboats and historic locks along the way.
Camden Market (The Cheese Wheel)
You've arrived at one of London's most famous alternative markets. Head straight to the West Yard street food section. Your target: The Cheese Wheel. Order the fresh hand-rolled tagliatelle, which they will spin inside a giant wheel of Grana Padano cheese right in front of you.
Westminster & The South Bank
Jump on the Northern Line tube from Camden Town down to Waterloo. Walk across Westminster Bridge for the ultimate iconic photos of Big Ben and the Houses of Parliament, then take a stroll past the London Eye.
Trafalgar Square & Covent Garden
Walk up Whitehall (passing Downing Street) to Trafalgar Square to see Nelson's Column and the National Gallery. From there, it's a short 10-minute walk into the cobbled streets and street performer circles of Covent Garden.
Seven Dials Market
Finish your layover just north of Covent Garden at Seven Dials Market, an indoor street food hall built in an old banana warehouse. Grab a quick steamed bao bun from Yum Bun or a slice from Bad Boy Pizza Society before taking the Piccadilly Line straight back to St Pancras for your train.
