Tucked away on a quiet cobbled mews in Maida Vale, this home feels like a true urban sanctuary. Inside, a striking full-height glass atrium filled with greenery rises from the ground floor to the second, flooding the space with natural light. The main bedroom claims the entire top floor, while the other two open onto a leafy internal courtyard. There's also a terrace for summer barbecues or starlit evenings around the firepit. Location-wise, Maida Vale has a relaxed, village-like feel, with a scenic canal pathway leading through Little Venice all the way to Camden Town. And when you need to head further afield, the nearest Underground Station is just a five-minute walk away.

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.
