Little Venice is an electoral ward of the City of Westminster. The population at the 2011 Census was 10,633. [1] 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. [2]

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.
Three councillors represent Little Venice ward. [3] Notable councillors include Melvyn Caplan, leader of Westminster City Council (1995 to 2000) and deputy leader (until 2021), [4] Jonathan Lord, MP for Woking and deputy leader of Westminster Council (1998 to 2000), [5] Nick St Aubyn, former MP for Guildford (1997 to 2001), and Anne Weyman, vice-chair of Britain for Europe.
