Little Venice, its name coined by former resident Robert Browning, offers an oasis of leafy calm just minutes from the city centre.
Whilst not exactly like the Italian city which gives it its name, Little Venice is interspersed with a succession of waterways, each lined with quaint cafes and restaurants.
Whilst not possessing any stand out attractions, the main draw for visitors to Little Venice is its relaxed atmosphere and tranquil surroundings.
A large part of the area's reputation is down to its interesting moniker. In recognition of his contribution, Robert Browning has a pool named after him nearby.
Visitors can catch a barge down the canal towards London Zoo and Camden Town.
