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.
Little Venice has 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.
