Where is Belle Isle? Is that the area around Barnsbury where the

Yes, between Gas Works and Copenhagen tunnels, I thought.


Are those, respectively, the tunnels beneath York Way, the canal
and Goodsway, and Market Road, Brewery Road and Blundell Street?
The first and second as you come out of KX? I'm a bit confused
about the names, as Copenhagen Street is much closer to the first
tunnel - but then so is the gasworks!

Ah yes, here are some references:

That would make it what's called the 'Triangle Site' in the KX
redevelopment, right?


I think that's more to the West of the line where I meant the area
occupied by the (originally 6) GN tracks only.
