Navigational Notes

Although the tunnel is wide enough for two narrow beamed boats to pass, because of the many wide-beamed boats, one-way working is enforced.

Wikipedia has a page about Islington Tunnel

The Islington Tunnel takes the Regent’s Canal 960 yards (878 m) under Angel, Islington, as the longest such tunnel in London. The way for short boats and barges only opened in 1818; the pavements above are waymarked so the otherwise discontinued towpaths are connected. The canal's Eyre's and Maida Hill Tunnels, to the west, are much shorter.
