Little Venice London Walking Tour: A London Hidden Gem

In this video, Sinead, a guide with Free Tours by Foot London, takes you on a walk along the canals at Little Venice, one of London's best-hidden gems. Watch Part 2 (Regents Canal) - • Regent's Canal Walk (L... .
Little Venice London 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 narrowboats 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.

    Hello, that was a very interesting tour along the canal in Little Venice area. I knew about the canal but never visited it I come from South East London and I never went to that area. I worked in the City of London for a few years then my parents bought a bungalow in Bexleyheath, Kent I moved out when I got married, now divorced, age 80 next week. You give excellent commentary, thanks

    Yes this is a lovely area. So many canal walks through London. I never discovered them until a few years ago. This one goes on beyond Camden and onto Victoria Park and comes out to the Thames at Limehouse. A word of warning though, they can be very busy on sunny weekend days with joggers and cyclists. Watch where you are stepping as the towpaths aren't very wide.

    I don't know how far you are going outside the central part Sinead but a nice walk tour would be along the Thames at Richmond all the way to Hampton Court via Kingston or even further (or do it in sections). I guess not so much to see along the way. Interesting buildings I mean, the scenery is great. Edit. And pubs (White Swan at Twickenham is a lovely little riverside pub), Teddington Lock, Eel Pie Island etc.
