I'll be in London this Sunday for five days.

10. It's a nice place

If you've been before, you've probably seen Little Venice with all the canal boats. And not that far from many of the major 'sights' of London: Houses of Parliament, Westminster Abbey, British Museum (must-see for anyone interested in any sort of history, including my favourite, a great collection of manuscripts); National Gallery, if you like art; if you go a little south, there is the Victoria and Albert Museum.

Haven't been in Maida Vale itself for quite a few years now, so can't say much that's up-to-date about the pubs/restaurants; but this link may be useful:
