One of the really great things about Buttercream is its location right by Hyde Park. It’s seriously well-connected too, with Bayswater and Queensway tube station both minutes from your front door.

We also loved how quiet the home was, despite the busy surrounding area.

Grand white stucco terraces and communal garden squares make up the majority of housing in the area, so architecture aficionados will be in for a treat.
