Info
Little Venice is a neighbourhood in London centred on an area of decorative houseboats and a partly tree-lined, three-way junction of canals. Many of its buildings are Regency white painted stucco terraced town houses and taller blocks (mansions) in the same style. The junction, a small fraction larger than usual along the canals, is that of the Paddington Arm of the Grand Union Canal and the Regent's Canal, and is also known as Browning's Pool or Little Venice Lagoon. To the south is the largely commercial Paddington Basin and Hyde Park.
Little Venice is also a ward frequently named when warding is done every 8-12 years by the City of Westminster for elections (for councillor representation). The ward had 11,040 residents according to the local authority in 2015. A main street wholly in the ward is Warwick Avenue. The area rises to the north and includes the tube station of the same name.
