The Regent's canal opened in 1820 and joins with the Grand Union canal at Paddington Basin.
It runs through Maida Hill on to Islington.
Brownings Island is a small pool in Little Venice with an islet and is shown below with ducks.
At the May bank holiday, there is usually a Canal Cavalcade with a procession of boats, a puppet show and a teddy bear's picnic.
There are picturesque canal trips from Little Venice to Camden Lock via London Zoo.
