I have a friend that lives in the area and we spent hours walking up and down the canals of little venice. Fantastic in the summer time and lots of lovely restaurants and pubs waterside.

Accessed via gateway to St Mary's Hospital Paddington adjacent to Mersure Hotel. Lots of colourful canal boats and people to go with them! Lovely, tranquil walk over looked by some fantastic homes - how the other half live!! At the end of Little Venice there is a lovely French style cafe serving a great selection of coffees etc where you... More

Beautiful and picturesque place and walk on the canal side up to Camden Town with many landmarks on the way. Away from London notorious traffic and especially pleasant at spring time.

I was looking forward to visiting this place and it had been on my wish list for months but I was so disappointed. The area was dirty with rubbish along part of the canal, the water was filthy in areas and the nicer parts were inaccessible due to gates being locked. I found it all a waste of my time

lovely spot for some lunch and so peaceful and calm, even though it's in the central area of london. get a boat trip to camden - polar opposites but both great!

This little out-of-the-way section of London makes for a great little get-away from the hustle and bustle of the big city. Stroll or bike along the canals and admire the colorful canal boats in the park-like setting. Some of the boats serve food, and the canal cruise is a great way to explore the area too! There is no cost... More

Very nice and calming place, but very dirty! It`s a shame to keep one of London`s attractions in such a condition!

Go from Paddington station to litlle venice, and take a boatride to camden! It's really worth while. And you will see london from the water without sailing on the stressful Thames.
