What you need to know about Little Venice

Little Venice

Little Venice is an area within the City of Westminster that is situated north of a triangle-shaped catchment formed by the junction of three canals and includes parts of the Paddington and Maida Vale districts. The neighbourhood owes its “Venice-like” appearance not only to the canals but also its architecture, which mostly consists of buildings with white stucco facades. Like the larger much larger district of St. John’s Wood to the north-east, Little Venice is considered one of London’s most desirable neighbourhoods due to both its unique atmosphere and its varied complement of coffee shops, restaurants, and retail shops. There are also several theatres in the area, as well as a good number of pubs, a handful of which are grade III listed. In addition, the entirety of Little Venice is extremely accessible, as all of the addresses in the neighbourhood are within walking distance of the Warwick Avenue tube station on the London Underground’s Bakerloo line.

What are the different ways to dispose of waste in Little Venice?

Businesses and households in Little Venice have access to most means of waste disposal and have little trouble dealing with average quantities of refuse and recycling. Even those with more typical waste removal needs are able to keep their household or commercial bins and properties clear of rubbish due to the wide variety of alternative solutions available in Little Venice through private waste contractors. These can range from services as basic as bin collections with more flexible scheduling options all the way up to end-to-end waste clearances that also include complete property clearances with rubbish segregation and cleaning up after the operation. Some companies operating in the area even handle removal operations for certain kinds of rubbish exclusively, like metals, builder’s rubble, or hazardous waste.

Where are the nearest recycling centres in Little Venice

Due to the lack of actual reuse and recycling centres (RRC) within the City of Westminster, few households or businesses in Little Venice consider regular tipping a viable means of keeping their bins clear of refuse and recycling. This is also partly due to the fact that, in cases where a trip to civic amenity sites are unavoidable, the local council advises residents to make use of the Smugglers Way RRC, which is located all the way in Wandsworth, across the Thames to the south-west. Westminster’s Micro-Recycling Centres in Little Venice can also be used as an alternative, but they are somewhat limited in terms of the volume and types of rubbish that they are able to handle and cannot be used for commercial waste.

What rubbish collection services are available in Little Venice?

The City of Westminster provides free weekly removals for general refuse and recycling for all residential properties in Little Venice, with some streets also being eligible for weekly food waste collections that are also offered free of charge. In addition, bulky waste collections, which can be used for the disposal of large household items, such as unwanted furniture and household appliances, or excess domestic rubbish, can also be requested from the local authority but cost £30 for up to six items each time. Additional items can be collected for £5 each, but the council cannot guarantee that everything will be removed from the property in a single trip. Additionally, Little Venice residents will need to ensure that their bulky waste is brought out to the edge of their property for collection, though it is also possible to arrange for an assisted collection when absolutely necessary.
