Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
Cosy and comfortable, this apartment is ideal for a couple or a solo traveller seeking a practical London base. There’s a living room for downtime, and a petite kitchen to cook in, though you’ll have plenty of restaurants, cafes, and pubs nearby if you’d rather dine out. Exploring London is a breeze, as you’ll only be a four-minute walk from Paddington and Lancaster Gate stations. Best of all, Kensington Gardens is a few minutes away on foot.

Local guide
About Fulham
Fulham’s village feels and riverside location earns it a top spot in our books. Nestled slightly west of upmarket Chelsea, the elegant area is defined by its lowkey wine bars and eateries with views of the Thames. Primarily residential, this borough boasts a relaxed ambience that’s a rare treat in a central spot. Spend afternoons hopping from art gallery to luxury boutique, pausing for sips of sauvignon blanc in between....

Head for a Thai Lunch at Nipa
Nipa Thai is nothing too fancy but serves up simple and absolutely delicious traditional Thai dishes that are great for a light lunch or dinner.
Dinner at Taormina
Highly recommended by the host, who's family comes here every Christmas for dinner. This unsuspecting Italian restaurant puts up beautiful homemade dishes that are made with love.
Stock up at Le Supermarche
It may look ordinary from a distance, however, this little grocery store is in fact connected to a leading French food supermarket across the UK. This means paradise for foodies.

Ride through Hyde Park with Hyde Park Stables. Friendly staff, well-cared-for horses, and knowledgeable guides make this a great unique experience in London.

The extremely popular Pergola on the Roof at White City now has a new location in Paddington. Street food & alfresco gardens make this the perfect place to spend summer evenings.
Enjoy a beer at The Swan
This 18th-century coaching inn has a wonderful terrace overlooking Hyde Park. Today a popular tourist haunt, it was in former times a resting point for stage coaches heading towards London.
Head for dinner at Tukdin
If you love Malaysian food this neighbourhood restaurant with stripped wood flooring, carved screens and banquette seating will sure hit the spot.
Take a photo with the Paddington Bear Statue
Located on Platform 1 of Paddington Station, this charming bronze statue is a nostalgic tribute to the beloved children's book character. Bring back fond memories and see the joy on little kids' faces.
