In the leafy neighbourhood of Maida Vale, one of the most desirable areas of West London, you'll find this beautiful townhouse. Whether you're in the capital for business, to catch up with friends, or simply to tick off your sightseeing list, it's the ideal place to kick back and relax between adventures. The traditional Victorian home has been fully renovated to create a bright and airy space that exudes tranquility, helping you to feel a million miles away from the hustle and bustle of the city. The living room is lined with bookcases and has comfy sofas where you can flop down and read, while the kitchen is equipped with everything you need to whip up tasty meals. Serve up your culinary creations at the elegant dining table, or bring them outside to dine alfresco on the patio – outdoor space like this is such a bonus in the crowded city. From here you can walk to Regent's Canal in just five minutes, and stroll along the waterway as you admire the brightly coloured barges. When you get hungry, you can head to a cosy pub for a traditional roast, or enjoy some fine dining at one of the nearby restaurants beside the water. And, if you hop on the tube at Warwick Avenue station, you can arrive in the city centre within ten minutes for a West End show or some sightseeing. Please note all stays of 8 nights or more include complimentary weekly cleaning, linen changes and replenishment of toiletries.

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.
