Canal Boat Cavalcade 2017 at Little Venice
There is a pool at the junction of the Regents Canal and Grand Union Canal that is now known as Little Venice. Every year there is a Festival and Cavalcade of canal boats. Some have traveled hundreds of miles using the vast network of canals that were once the lifeblood of Britain’s trade and industry.
There is a pleasant waterbus ⇐ between Camden Lock and Little Venice. At Little Venice there is a floating café and an enchanting puppet theatre ⇒ for all ages.
Canal boats became ornamental even as working boats.

This is wonderful! We love the duck!

Yes, and such pleasant people. I think it’s the effect of living by the water or perhaps the desire to do so. 🙂

The puppet theatre on a barge is truly charming. Although it is sometimes at Little Venice and sometimes at Richmond.
