Little Venice, Canal junction in City of Westminster, England

The neighborhood features a triangular basin where the Regent's Canal meets the Grand Union Canal, creating a network of waterways lined with white stucco houses.

The area gained its name in the 19th century when poet Robert Browning compared the canal junction to Venice, although some credit Lord Byron for the comparison.

The annual Canalway Cavalcade brings the community together with boat parades, water activities, and local performances celebrating the canal heritage since 1983.

Visitors can take canal boat trips from Little Venice to Camden Lock and London Zoo, with several companies offering regular water transportation services.

The district contains Junction House, a preserved lock keeper's cottage from the early 1800s, positioned strategically at the Warwick Avenue Bridge lock.
