Little Venice.

Walk preview

Step 1: Our walk began the moment we stepped out Warwick Avenue Station. Area is picturesque and the canal side is a minute away from here.

Step 2: We walked up the street and soon reached a bridge leading over the canal. From here you really see why the place is called 'little Venice'

Step 3: From over the bridge we saw a footpath to go along the canal. Just as you get on this path, there is a café on boat moored alongside!!!

Step 4: Café is next to a bridge. This is also where the footpath forks. We walked off straight towards Paddington, its shorter than going other way

Step 5: Canal widens up. There is a small island where birds live. 🌞🐦🐦

Step 6: We wandered along the canal admiring boats and how place intersects with modern architecture.
