Situated a stroll away from Abbey Road Studios, this vintage-designed home invites you to plan your London itinerary in the cosy lounge. While the owner's dog won't be curling up on the sofa with you, it might not be the best pick for guests with allergies. The carved dining table is ideal for formal feasts, so why not hire a private chef one evening? We think you'll love relaxing on the enclosed terrace after visiting the nearby parks and eateries. Please note all stays of 8 nights or more include complimentary weekly cleaning, linen changes and replenishment of toiletries.

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.
