Within walking distance to Little Venice, Notting Hill, and the Abbey Road studios zebra crossing made famous by the Beatles' album of the same name, this is a great base for discovering all that West London has to offer. A wealth of bars, cafes, and restaurants are right on your doorstep, meaning you'll truly have it all at your fingertips. That being said, in such a warm and welcoming environment, you could just as well enjoy a home-cooked meal, cosy up in front of a good film, or enjoy a glass of wine on the private balcony.

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.
