Staying on Jessie in a canal in Little Venice is a wonderful experience. The boat is cozy and comfortable. Our host Meg explained the workings of the boat plumbing, the coal stove and the galley equipment very well. The location is great for exploring a part of London we didn’t know. Shops, good dining, night life, and spots of historic interest are all nearby. The area along the canal system is great for photography. There are two exciting bridges on the canal near Paddington, the Rolling Bridge and the Fan Bridge. Both open and close about noon on Wednesday and Friday. On Saturday I think it is 2pm.
