• Step 1: We start at Alperton station. We continue our route from Little Venice along the canal. Exit the station and cross the road - there’s a Zebra Crossing to the right. Turn left, under the rail bridge and past Lidl to the junction.

• 

  Step 2: Top up on refreshments in the supermarket if needed. Otherwise turn left at the lights and you’ll reach this bridge over the canal.

• 

  Step 3: This is the view of the canal side we walked previously, from Little Venice near Paddington. Cross and take the path left to the canal side.

• 

  Step 4: Down the ramp you’ll see the bridge from below. We’re heading under the bridge and further away from London.

• 

  Step 5: There are many signs of the industrial past and present along the canal. This old brick warehouse now a hardware store.

• 

  Step 6: This is Piggery Bridge. The area was famous for bad smells which were partly due to the pigs kept locally. The path is a little narrow here.
