Waterway

Notting Hill & West London


Don’t come here for the selection of beer or ales or the expensive nosh; this place, hard by the Grand Union Canal in Little Venice, is all about location, and it’s hard to imagine a better place to while away a weekend afternoon. Children are welcome until 9.30pm.
