This is the end of some modern glass blocks silhouetted against the skyline. To the right is section 1. Paddington Basin. Paddington Basin is the terminus of the Paddington Arm of the Grand Union Canal. It was opened in 1801 and chosen because of its position on the New Road which led to the east, providing for onward transport. In its heyday, the basin was a major trans-shipment facility, and a hive of activity. The Grand Union Canal is part of the British canal system. Its main line connects London and Birmingham, stretching for 220 km (137 miles) with 166 locks. Cyclists are asked to dismount along the canalside for a couple of hundred metres until reaching the big A40 road bridge. It is probably better to do this than take a longer, busier way around. This area is known as Paddington Central. D Sheldon Square is to the left (make a small detour for shops and to see the grassy steps in front of glass office buildings) and a pedestrian bridge across the canal is to the right. Do not cross the bridge; carry straight on along the canal. On the left are a group of smart restaurants and two sculpted men by Sean Henry (2003) facing each other, to celebrate walking.

  • Little Venice and Maida Vale Neighbourhood Area Designation
    Neighbourhood Area Designation Notice Section 61G of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 (as inserted by Schedule 9 Part 1 of the Localism Act (2011)) provides a local planning authority the power to designate an area as a neighbourhood area. Under The Neighbourhood Planning (General) Regulations 2012 Part 2 Regulation 7 a local planning authority must publish on their website, and in such other manner as they consider is likely to bring the designation to the attention of people who live, work or carry on business in the neighbourhood area; the name of the neighbourhood area a map which identifies the area; and the name of the relevant body who applied for the designation. Neighbourhood area application Name of proposed neighbourhood area Paddington and Maida Vale Name of applicant Paddington Waterways and Maida Vale Society Representation period 23rd July - 14th September 2012 Neighbourhood area designation Notice is hereby given that Westminster City Council, through a decision made on 28 March 2014 by its Cabinet Member for The Built Environment, has designated the Little Venice and Maida Vale Neighbourhood Area within the Westminster City Council boundary. The boundary of the area is shown edged red on the map below. Reasons for decision: The Cabinet Member has accepted the recommendation that the neighbourhood area as applied for does not represent a single neighbourhood area. The Paddington Basin area within the south of the proposed neighbourhood area is deemed to be a distinct and separate area from the Maida Vale area to the north, in terms of character and land use. These two areas are separated by the elevated section of the A4 Westway.

  • Jubilee Greenway Walk Section 8 PDF 2.00MB
    Transport for London. The Jubilee Greenway. Section 8 of 10. Tower Bridge to Westminster Bridge. Section start: Tower Bridge. Nearest stations London Bridge . to start: Section finish: Westminster Bridge. Nearest stations Westminster or Westminster Pier . to finish: Section distance: 2.4 miles (3.9 kilometres). Introduction. The pulse of urban London quickens again as you begin section eight. Hugging the South Bank, it links no less than eight landmark bridges and is a hub of cultural centres, including the Globe Theatre, South Bank Centre, Tate Modern and several famous museums. The route continues to follow the same route as the Thames Path and now also joins the original route of the Jubilee Walkway, as well as The Queen's Walk, which was fully opened in 1994. It is now possible to walk from Tower Bridge to Lambeth, only leaving the riverside briefly at Southwark. After passing through a number of riverside boroughs, the walker is now in a heavily built-up part of London, with many magnificent landmarks in view. The Thames is crossed by numerous bridges. As you walk you will be able to enjoy the skyline of London which has changed dramatically in the last half century, and continues to change from year to year, particularly along this section of the Thames. Look out for the Jubilee Greenway discs in the pavement as you go round. Directions Starting at Tower Bridge (on the south side of the Thames, with Tower Bridge itself on the right), walk along the promenade which is The Queen's Walk towards the peculiar egg-shaped glass building - this is City Hall, home of the Mayor of London and the London Assembly.
