Little Venice is an electoral ward in the City of Westminster, in north-west central London. It centres on the picturesque junction where the Regent's Canal meets the Grand Union Canal, with tree-lined waterways, houseboats and a mix of Regency and Victorian terraces alongside later 20th-century housing; nearby transport hubs include Warwick Avenue tube and Paddington station, and it adjoins Maida Vale.
The ward is largely residential and relatively affluent, known for canalside cafés, boutique hotels and occasional boat festivals that lend a village feel within the capital; historically it grew in the 19th century as London expanded, and today combines long‑standing local communities with professionals and small businesses, giving it a quiet but culturally engaged character.
