Little Venice (ward)
Little Venice is an electoral ward of the City of Westminster. The population at the 2011 Census was 10,633. The ward covers the area south of Maida Vale and north of Paddington, bound by the Westway, Edgware Road and Grand Union Canal. The Regent's Canal runs through the ward to Little Venice basin, and it is served by Warwick Avenue station on the Bakerloo line, in addition to several bus routes running through the area. There are three primary schools, St Joseph's RC Primary School, St Saviour's CofE Primary School and Ark Paddington Green Primary Academy, and one GP surgery in the ward. The locality known as Little Venice was largely represented by the original Maida Vale ward, created in 1964, which elected five councillors. For the May 1978 election, the ward was split into two: Maida Vale and Little Venice, each electing three councillors. There were minor boundary changes in 2002 and 2022. The ward currently returns three councillors to Westminster City Council, with an election every four years. At the last election in May 2022, two candidates from the Conservative Party and one from the Labour Party were elected to represent the ward. Councillors
