OK welcome to Paddington station now for me right now its the last week of September and
its very much beginning to feel like Autumn Summer feels now like a a memory a fond memory
but a memory none the less the days are noticeably shorter in terms of daylight hours and its
definitely getting colder however on nice days like today going for a walk here in the
city and I guess escaping the hustle and bustle of city life is a very popular activity now
as I was saying earlier obviously walking along the river Thames or one of many parks
especially the Royal parks is very popular including with visitors because there is a
lot of visitor attractions on most sections or many sections of the river Thames but this
the the canal network here in London is a very popular spot for Londoners because as
you can see its a lot less busy than the banks of the Thames or the parks for instance this
is the the Paddington basin I think its a section of the Regents canal and just down
here that I'am going to share with you is a very picturesque section of the canals its
where the Regents canal meets the Grand Union canal and its an area called little Venice
but its also very accessible you can walk straight out of Paddington Station there which
is an overground station and a tube station and you come out right next to the canal and
just a short walk from little Venice and I think when we get to little Venice the part
nicknamed the lagoon I'll share with you a hidden gem which a popular beginning and end
to many walks here in London is a traditional London pub so we will go and check one of
those out too but lets walk up to the lagoon section of little Venice
OK welcome to little Venice its a pretty picturesque part of the canals its actually a meeting
point a junction of two canals I believe the Regents canal and the Grand Union canal very
popular place for people to come for a walk or cycle along the tow paths walk their dogs
and there is plenty of house boats here as you can see there is even a one of the boats
up here is even a cafe on nice days sunny days there is a park just there which is open
to the public Rembrandt park I think which is a real popular spot for picnics next to
the canal and this is just a short walk from Paddington however if you walk up the tow
paths there you will eventually its quite a long walk but you will eventually come to
Camden which that's a popular walk you can get however there are plenty of boat trips
that leave here so you can get the boat yeah its a we will go up on the bridge we will
go up here on the bridge and I'll give you a a look at little Venice the lagoon and then
just over here I'll take you to a hidden gem a great spot to end any walk the pub yeah
check out this the waterside cafe OK you get amazing views from up here on the bridge both
ways along the canal OK and just around here is I guess a bit of a hidden gem for little
Venice which hidden behind two rows of these amazing looking villas and a great spot to
end any walk the pub but I'am going to end this walk and this little look at London in
the month of September and the beginning of Autumn here in town and I hope you enjoyed
this little look around at some things to do this month and this season so until next
time Toodles! and yeah after that long walk a well earned drink in the Warwick Castle
