"The Jersey Lily"
In the late 1800s, the then Prince of Wales bought this house on Maida Avenue for the famous beauty and actress, Lillie Langtry, who had been the first society woman to appear on the English stage. She became the darling of the social set in London, with countless aristocratic admirers, and pursued a theatrical career, here and in the US, lasting over thirty years.

Regent's Canal near Little Venice
Construction of a national canal network began in the late 18th century, but initially the canal from the Midlands ended at Paddington, and there was no link to eastern London until the Regent's Canal was built. It was the brainchild of engineer Thomas Homer who, in 1812, presented a plan to the Grand Junction Company (which owned the canal from London to Birmingham) for the creation of a waterway from Limehouse to Paddington. To begin with the project progressed quickly, largely passing through what was then agricultural land, but it was soon hampered by financial problems. Stubborn and greedy landowners asked inflated prices for property along the preferred route, and, to make matters worse, Thomas Homer disappeared in 1815 taking the company's funds with him. New legislation passed in 1817 enabled the work to be completed by 1820 using funds borrowed from the Treasury. The canals were initially a success, particularly for transporting coal, building materials and other bulky loads, but the rise of the railways not long after the canals were built substantially reduced their importance. Now they are primarily a leisure facility. What was then the Central Electricity Generating Board laid cables under some of the towpaths in the 1970s and made them suitable for pedestrians again as seen here. This is the Regent's Canal just after it has left Little Venice and is heading towards Maida Hill Tunnel. I was standing under the bridge carrying Warwick Avenue over the canal to take the photograph.

Catholic Apostolic Church, Maida Avenue W2
A way of religion past its peak of popularity, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catholic_Apostolic_Church . To quote from this: "In 2014, the only active Catholic Apostolic congregation apparently left intact in the British Isles would seem to be the group conducting weekly worship at its large church in Maida Avenue... The absence of any ordained clergy whose ministry the congregation would accept means that little of the once impressive liturgy can still be employed".
