Little Venice

Have you ever been to Little Venice? No, it’s not part of Italy, but rather a hidden, quaint corner of London, where life is a little more laid-back than in the hustle and bustle of Westminster and the City. Little Venice is a small section of water where the Grand Union and Regent’s Canals meet, which has attracted a number of waterside pubs, cafes, and restaurant businesses over the years to create a quaint community feels in the heart of the city.

There’s a sense of calm here that you don’t get anywhere else in the capital, thanks to the canals, barges, and nearby parks creating a tranquil atmosphere that’s highly unusual for a city center, let alone London. Visitors to Little Venice can enjoy a boat trip along the canal or its towpath, traveling towards the city center from Maida Vale. The trip takes tourists through Regent’s Park and Camden Town, showing them the eclectic variety of shops, bars, and attractions London offers.
