Little Venice

Little Venice is a wealthy part of London interwoven with canals along which houses and regency style houses and residences were built, with stuccoed white facades. There are restaurants, shops, theaters and pubs. It is worth noting, among others at Warwick Castle, The Warrington, The Prince Alfred, which are distinguished by their original interiors. In Little Venice, you can move on traditional water buses or trams.

The borders of Little Venice are very conventional. It has been accepted that it covers the area surrounding three canals: the Grand Canal, the Regent's Canal and Paddington Basin, which converge in the picturesque Browning's Pool.

It is not entirely clear how the name of the area was created. According to one version, she was coined by the poet Robert Browning, who lived here in the nineteenth century. Another says that George Byron jokingly referred to the London channel system in this way. Importantly, the nickname "Little" was added only decades after "Venice" entered the everyday language.
