The Waterway
A terrace on the canal
About The Waterway
The Waterway stands at the water’s edge in Little Venice, where the Grand Union Canal meets the Regent’s Canal, and its terrace is one of the largest outdoor spaces in the area. The kitchen serves modern European dishes, brunch at weekends and drinks through the day. Narrowboats moor along the towpath outside, and the canal boats to Camden leave close by. Warwick Avenue station is about five minutes’ walk. Book a terrace table in summer.
