London Canal Museum

"The London Canal Museum in Battlebridge Basin is well worth a visit in its own right, but it is also a good mooring close to King's Cross. It's £10 per night (1 night per stay only), accommodates 2 narrowboats breasted up, has access to a water point and electric hook up.  It's not the easiest mooring to get into or out of as there are residential moored boats on both sides. The moorings are reserved (quite reasonably) for museum visitors during their opening hours (1000 to 1600). Overnight mooring is therefore from 1600 to 1000 the following day unless you are also visiting the museum (as we did). Access to the water point is by a combination padlock, and there is gated access to the site, also by combination lock. The museum will give you the codes for both of these. One slight oddity is that the electricity hook up (included) is via flat pin 13 Amp weatherproofed sockets rather than the more common 16 Amp blue circular ones, so you'll need a suitable adaptor lead. You can obviously also only draw 13 Amps rather than 16. There are no refuse or elsan facilities there.

Further to Mike55's kind review of our moorings I would clarify a couple of points, we do accept  reasonable amount of rubbish and recycling for disposal also that the socket on the mooring electrical pillar is a standard 16amp blue circular one - There is a 32 amp 3 phase socket as well but not many people use it ?  The 13 amp sockets are on the wall of the museum and are for use at canalside activities. 

 

The nearest Elsan disposal point is just around the corner ar St Pancras Lock.
