Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
Built in 1825, this home in Maida Vale is just over a mile from Regent’s Park and around fifteen minutes on the tube to Leicester Square. The private outside space is a rare feature in these parts, and the two sitting rooms provide plenty of room for a group of ten to stretch out. You’ll find everything you need in the kitchen for preparing meals, but if you’d prefer to leave it to the professionals, your host can organise a chef to take care of dinner.

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.
