Did you know

The site was once a coal drop for the railways into King's Cross; it was saved from development to become a nature reserve, and Camley Street Natural Park opened in 1985.

Local tip

Open 10am-5pm April to September and 10am-4pm October to March. There is no visitor parking, so come on foot by the canal or from King's Cross and St Pancras.
