Look closely and you'll see this Maida Vale home’s original Edwardian features – the ornate fireplace, arched doorways and ceiling mouldings. However, this home otherwise dazzles with chic, contemporary flair. We love the mid-century style dining chairs and statement lighting, while the house plants and bookshelves make the whole space feel homey and welcoming. Enjoy breakfast at the kitchen diner or on your private balcony, which overlooks the building's tranquil shared gardens. You'll love soaking in the roll-top bath after a long day of sightseeing or settling back in an armchair in the living room with one of the coffee table books. Just a fifteen-minute walk from Little Venice, this home is perfect if you want to live like a local in West London. Take walks along the canal, grab a coffee and stroll through the leafy Paddington Recreation Ground and explore the countless neighbourhood restaurants right on your doorstep. If you're craving the action of Central London, catch the tube from Maida Vale station – you'll be in Soho in less than fifteen minutes. At the end of the day, fix yourself a drink at the bar cart and enjoy a meal at home, or admire the sunset from... the balcony before heading out for a night on the town.

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.
