A bit of Italy in London… Capital of fashion and culture, London brings together secret addresses across the city.
Italian Streets and Architecture in London
Designed by the architect R.J. Worley in early 1906, the neo-classic Sicilian Avenue welcomes the city’s most fashionable boutiques. Made of Italian marble and entirely pedestrian, the street is connected to Italian culture and architecture. Taking part in England’s National Heritage List, Sicilian Avenue is one of London’s busiest streets and one of the most iconic.
Crossed by the Little Venice canal, the dynamic city welcomes an oasis of water and greenery in the heart of the city centre. In Maida Vale, between Regent’s Canal and Grand Union Canal, boats and barges rest in a peaceful and natural setting.
