Walk of the Week

Every Sunday we’ll pluck just one walk from the vast London Walks repertoire and put it center stage. You can check out the full schedule at www.walks.com. But if you only take one walking tour this week, why not make it…
LITTLE VENICE
11 am on Wednesdays from Warwick Avenue Tube
If you fancy something completely different, this is the walk for you. Little Venice is the prettiest and most romantic spot in town. A unique combination of white stucco, greenery, and water, it boasts the finest early Victorian domestic architecture in London; a Who's Who of famous residents (Robert Browning, Edward Fox, Joan Collins, Annie Lennox, and Sigmund Freud to name but a few); and a jewel of a "village" street. And that's not to mention its canals. One of them – Regent's Canal – is known as the "loveliest inland waterway in England". Part of the walk is along the canal towpath – which to this day is studded with fragments of evidence that bring the Age of Canals to life. And afterwards you can have tea – or a bite to eat – at a stylish canal-side cafe.
The Little Venice Walk takes place every Wednesday at 11 am every Saturday at 2 pm and every Sunday at 2 pm
Meet Peter or Richard III just outside the exit of Warwick Avenue Tube.
Guided Saturdays and Sundays by Shaughan A London Walk costs £9 – £7 concession. To join a London Walk, simply meet your guide at the designated tube station at the appointed time. Details of all London Walks can be found at www.walks.com.
