The Paddington Arm of the then Grand Junction Canal was opened in 1801 from Bull's Bridge near Southall to Paddington Basin. The first extension of the Regent's Canal from what is now Little Venice to Camden Town opened in 1816, and the Camden to Limehouse section opened four years later in 1820. This view looks from the bridge which carries Westbourne Terrace Road over the canal as it leaves Little Venice. The building on the left is the office of the Canal & River Trust - see http://canalrivertrust.org.uk/ Beyond is the Paddington Arm of the Grand Union Canal with boats moored on both sides. Delamere Terrace is on the left and Blomfield Road on the right. The canal towpath follows the Delamere Terrace side here.
