About

Little Venice is a tranquil residential enclave in Westminster, centred around the picturesque junction of the Grand Union and Regent's Canals. The area is characterised by its waterways, lined with colourful narrowboats and weeping willow trees. Pathways along the water lead to several waterside pubs and cafes, creating a distinct village atmosphere within the city.

The area is home to the Puppet Theatre Barge, a unique floating venue that has hosted performances for decades. Rembrandt Gardens provides a green space with seasonal flower displays. Primarily consisting of elegant stucco-fronted houses and mansion blocks, it offers a quiet retreat from the surrounding urban bustle of Paddington and Maida Vale.
