Little Venice

Little Venice, with its beautiful canals and waterways, positioned where the Grand Union and Regent?s canals meet, this picturesque neighbourhood is home to quirky waterside cafes, cosy pubs and charming restaurants.

From canal boat rides to puppet shows, there are plenty of things to do in this charming London area.

Many of the buildings in the vicinity are Regency white painted stucco terraced townhouses and mansions in the same style.

Little Venice is a comparatively recent name for parts of Paddington and Maida Vale in the City of Westminster, which had been referred to as London's "Venice" for a century before "Little" was added. The name was in frequent use by the latter half of the 20th century.

The origin of the name is sometimes attributed to the poet Robert Browning or Lord Byron who first humorously compared the locale to Venice. The name "little Venice" was later formally applied to an electoral ward of the City of Westminster.
