Cruisin’ Through Little Venice

Where to go and what to see in this little Paddington gem

Cruisin’ Through Little Venice

Paddington is an upscale residential neighborhood in West London, built around the major Paddington Railway Station, which gave the famous fictional bear his name after he was discovered there.

London is one of the most dynamic cities I have ever lived in, though I consider New York City one of those places where you always find something new to do; something different and that you won’t find anywhere else. London is the same. There are hidden corners everywhere, and the city offers activities for all types of people, whether they have children and are looking for a calm and fun activity or  a calmer event for couples.

At the moment, with quarantine and COVID cases still within our global situation, people are looking for outdoor activities that are less conventional than your typical day out at the pub (which I actually wouldn’t recommend anyway) or a picnic in the park, which is the go-to for most people anyway in the summer. Well Paddington (yes, where the bear is from) has a place called Little Venice, which is an area along the Regent’s Canal where a community of London residents live on boats.

A boat tour company called GoBoat, allows you to rent out boats for as little as one hour and cruise through the canal while enjoying a picnic on the center table of the boat. Training on how to drive the boat is given before ‘sailing’ away, so there is no experience necessary, however it is so much fun. Obviously the person driving the boat is the one who would decide not to drink, however everyone else can add champagne to the menu and enjoy.
