London Photo Gallery - Little Venice

Parts of Regent's Canal have become tourist hotspots such as Little Venice. This area at the junction with the Grand Union Canal has new residences, offices, and interesting boats, making it a charming area for a walk. Back in the early 19th century, the government wanted to build new transport links across the country, resulting in these canals that facilitated trade with the Midlands. My tour begins at the eastern end of Paddington Basin with modern tall towers and ends at Rembrandt Gardens, where grand mansions front a basin with many boats parked along the shore. Once the modern towers taper off, I saw a lot more small boats parked on both sides of the canal. Some of them looked obviously like homes with even a rooftop sun deck to relax. After looping around and back at Rembrandt Gardens, I returned back to Paddington station to finish my walk.
