Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
This charming flat is just a short walk from Hyde Park and Oxford Street. It’s conveniently located for seeing the sights or working in central London, and has excellent public transport links – Bayswater tube and Paddington are both a short walk away. The apartment is retro in style, so it won’t suit those seeking a modern, fuss-free home. It’s got everything you need for a convenient stay in London, though two guests will be sleeping on a sofa bed in the living room.
