Little Venice and the canal walks of London

We have been having a glorious summer in London.
I thought I would make the most of the weather and my dose of Vitamin D.  I had to meet my brother to pick up Millie so decided to go the scenic route.
 I started in Paddington Central which is a modern development right by Paddington station for your guide. 

What you see in the picture above are old warehouses that would have received delivery of goods of stoneware and wool from the industrial North of England.

Due to the sun, the water has a green overgrowth that looks like astro turf if you didn't know better.


The bridges are main arterial roads that lead to the A40 and the Marylebone Road.


Even houseboats are squeezed in every possible berth.


Gardens and barbeque sets are just as important to boat dwellers.


There are a few local turns but you should look for the
Jubilee Walk ( click for link ) and follow the canal if in doubt.
