Positioned west of Regent’s Park and close to Paddington Station, the classy area of Maida Vale has often been overshadowed by the glamorous neighbouring areas such as Marylebone and St John’s Wood, but the humble beauty of Maida Vale is being recognised now more than ever. Characterised by small avenues of independent shops, leafy streets, gorgeous mansion blocks and the Little Venice Canal peacefully flowing through, it feels like a destination much further North in London than the Borough of Westminster. The beauty of Maida Vale is present all year round, with leafy touches around that bring life to the ever popular neighbourhood.
