Little Venice, London
Little Venice: A canal side oasis from the Paddington bustle
Situated near Paddington in the residential district of Maida Vale, Little Venice is often considered as a small oasis away from the bustle of Central London. The name was coined by the English poet Robert Browning when he lived in the area in the late 17th century, as it is the junction where Regent's Canal meets the Grand Union Canal. London is full of canals, although most of them are underground, but you can take a day to walk from Little Venice along the towpath as far as London's East End. There are lots of shops and restaurants in Little Venice, as well as the Cascade Floating Art Gallery and quaint Warwick Castle pub. A walk or boat ride east along the canal will also take in a portion of London Zoo, where you can catch a glimpse of some of the animals. While Maida Vale is largely residential, it is also home to the BBC Maida Vale Studios, Lord's Cricket Ground and a number of houseboats.
