The owners of this cosy apartment call it their luxury treehouse. And with views across the leafy garden below, it’s not hard to see why. It’s also tucked away on the top floor with three flights of stairs, but once inside you’ll find a welcoming space well-suited to couples and remote workers. There is also a little balcony and you can enjoy access to the shared garden. It’s worth noting there is no private parking here, but you’ll find everything you could need within walking distance. Plus, it’s just a two-minute walk to Warwick Avenue underground station – making it easy to connect with central London.

Local guide
About Maida Vale
Leafy Maida Vale is one of London's most sought-after residential areas and for good reason. If you sidestep the tourists posing for photos on the zebra crossing made famous by that Beatles cover, you’ll quickly find what makes this part of town quite so special. Home to beautiful streets of white stucco houses, the very instagrammable canals of Little Venice, and lots of interesting places to eat and drink, Maida Vale residents certainly know how to live well. The BBC's Maida Vale studios means that many residents are bigwigs in the music and creative industries.
