This penthouse places you in leafy Maida Vale. You’ll find a choice of cafes, restaurants, and shops in the neighbourhood, and picturesque Little Venice is a twenty-minute stroll away. After a day sightseeing in central London, you can hop on the Tube and be home in no time. The apartment itself boasts an airy open-plan layout, with a comfortable lounge area, a fully-equipped kitchen, and a dining table for sociable meals. We think this place is a great find for a couple, solo traveller or small family wanting a peaceful base with easy access to the city centre.

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.
