Little Venice: tranquillity in a city haven

The attractions of Little Venice centre around the magnificent Regent’s canal that crosses this charming area of north west London.

The junction between the Grand Union and Regent’s Canals makes gives this area a pleasingly laid-back atmosphere.

Apartments and Houses in Little Venice

The Little Venice property market is richly varied: there are the classic London-brick terraces, and white stuccoed houses over several storeys in tree-lined avenues — many having direct access to communal gardens solely for the residents directly behind them. Little Venice apartments are mainly found in the stuccoed buildings surrounding Clifton Road and Warrington Crescent or the Edwardian Mansion blocks within the area there are modern redevelopments and sympathetic new buildings along the basin towards Paddington.

Houseboats are increasingly popular, too, with more luxurious fittings and full amenities — a far cry from the working barges that once travelled the canals here!

There are many notable residents from the music business, film and theatre, making Little Venice a diverse and cosmopolitan area to live in.

Looking for things to do in Little Venice?

A walk to Notting Hill along the towpath is a must if you fancy a little exercise, or visit the puppet theatre located on a barge. Every May, Little Venice hosts the canal cavalcade with many boats and festivities on display.
