Little Venice

Little Venice is where the Grand Union and Regent's Canals meet, creating a basin with narrowboats, waterside cafes, and willow trees. It's genuinely picturesque and feels like a secret, even though it's a ten-minute walk from Paddington. The residential streets are large stucco villas and mansion flats, mostly expensive. Warwick Avenue tube (Bakerloo) is the station, and people know it from the Duran Duran video. There's a puppet theatre barge and a waterbus to Camden. It's a tiny area with a strong identity. Families like it for the calm and the canal walks, though the schools aren't the main draw.
