About

Bayswater occupies a central slice of Westminster, bounded by Hyde Park to the south and Paddington to the north. The area is defined by its grid of elegant, white-stuccoed Victorian terraces and garden squares, housing a mix of residential apartments and hotels. Its main thoroughfares, Queensway and Westbourne Grove, are lined with shops and restaurants, while the quieter, leafy streets retain a settled residential character close to the expansive green space of the park.

A distinct feature is the historical presence of several large mansion blocks and townhouses converted into embassy buildings, lending a discreet international diplomatic presence to certain streets. The area also encompasses the northern edge of Kensington Gardens, including the Italian Gardens water feature and the Peter Pan statue. Bayswater's proximity to Paddington Station provides direct rail links to Heathrow Airport and the west of England.
