Little Venice is one of London's not so secret gems – brimming with colorful houseboats and cute cafes. Time to discover more… Tucked away between two canals: the Great Union Canal and Regent's Canal – if you squint on a sunny day, it's not hard to see where it gets its name from. Little Venice is tucked away in the residential neighborhood of Maida Vale.
Here the Regent’s Canal and the Grand Union Canal meet and form a small intersection of waterways, hence the name of Little Venice.
The canal is filled with narrow boats and pubs line the leafy streets.
It was relatively unscathed during the bombings in World War Two, which means the area retains its original attractive and grand Georgian buildings.
