About

Maida Vale is a mainly residential district in the City of Westminster, built around wide avenues and rows of late-19th and early-20th century mansion blocks. The Bakerloo line serves the neighbourhood at Warwick Avenue and Maida Vale stations, and local streets such as Elgin Avenue and Clifton Road host a mix of small shops, pubs and schools. The layout includes public squares and pocket parks that break the urban grid, and many buildings retain original features like buff-brick facades and porticos.

The canal basin at Little Venice sits at the west edge of Maida Vale where the Paddington Arm meets the Regent’s Canal, and moored narrowboats and waterside towpaths are part of daily life for residents. BBC Maida Vale Studios is on Delaware Road and has long been a recording base for radio sessions. Community events, independent cafes and specialist grocers serve local needs rather than large-scale tourism, and the area’s street pattern and local institutions give a clear residential identity.
