Located in elegant Maida Vale, this characterful apartment is an ideal base for those looking to be in a peaceful, well-connected corner of the city. Wood floors, large windows and contemporary furnishings make a welcoming first impression in the open-plan living room, with glass doors leading out onto a private balcony. Start mornings off here with a cup of coffee while taking in views of the leafy residential garden below or watch the sunset over the neighbourhood’s rooftops with a glass of bubbly at the end of the night. Those who need to catch up on work will appreciate the second bedroom’s desk and printer, while both bedrooms benefit from beautiful rainfall showers that will make waking up a delight each morning. Outside of your home, you’re just a five-minute walk from Regent’s Canal in Little Venice, a twenty-minute walk from Regent’s Park and a twenty-five-minute stroll from Portobello Road’s colourful antique shops.

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.
