A two-bedroom apartment in Paddington Green that punches well above its postcode. The balcony gives you an outdoor perch in the middle of west London, and a common garden – rare here – adds breathing room. When you want more, Little Venice is a nine-minute walk away, where canal-side cafes and narrowboats make for an easy afternoon. Paddington Station is twelve minutes on foot, putting the rest of the city within reach. Back in the building, a private cinema room and a gym mean you're rarely short of something to do.
