Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
Two minutes from the gates of Hyde Park and Kensington Gardens, this apartment puts one of London's great green escapes right on your doorstep. The boutique-style interior is bright and considered, with a private balcony where city views make morning coffee feel like a small event. When you're ready to venture further, Lancaster Gate and Queensway Underground stations are both under a seven-minute walk, and Paddington – with the Heathrow Express – is a fourteen-minute stroll, making arrivals and day trips equally painless.

About Bayswater
Nestled between Notting Hill and Hyde Park, Bayswater is a great base for exploring everything that Central London has to offer, yet maintains a tight-knit, neighbourhood feel which sets it apart from surrounding areas.
