About

Little Venice lies in the northern part of Westminster, centred around the junction of the Grand Union and Regent's Canals. The area is characterised by its waterways, with residential streets of stucco-fronted houses and garden squares built in the 19th century. The canals form a key part of the local geography, creating a distinct environment separate from the busier districts to the south.

A specific feature is the collection of permanently moored narrowboats, some housing cafes and a floating puppet theatre. The area includes the tranquil Rembrandt Gardens and the pathway leading to the nearby Paddington Basin. It functions primarily as a residential neighbourhood, with local activity focused around the water and its bridges.
