Amy YApril 26, 2015Usually great location + nice neighbourhood = bad food. Lucky for us, The Waterway bucks the trend. Get the grilled squid appetiser or the Egg's Benedict (not too heavy)! Pimm's pitcher optional.Upvote4Downvote- The Taste SheriffFebruary 22, 2017Great lively place by the canal to have a beer on a sunny day and chill.Upvote4Downvote
Minka Monica LiJuly 6, 2016Longtime favorite in Maida Vale. Nice to sit outside in the summer and cozy to sit inside by the fireplace in the winter. They play major sports matches on the big screen.Upvote2Downvote

Christopher WebbJanuary 18, 2016lunch in a party of nine including four children under five. Food, wine and service all top notch. A little pricy but not unexpected.UpvoteDownvote
Time Out LondonMarch 26, 2012Right on the canal path, in view of the longboats moored along the banks, the Waterway makes good use of its location, with a decent-sized decked area out front. Read moreUpvote2Downvote
