Bayswater

Close to Hyde Park, Paddington at the core of London, Bayswater is a hub of activity, where many cultures come together in a melting pot of brilliant food, grand architecture, and bustling streets. Set in West London, with Notting Hill on one side and Marble Arch on the other, Bayswater is defined by its pretty garden squares and a plethora of property options. From compact apartments to sprawling Georgian townhouses, Bayswater truly does have something for everyone.

Bayswater Area Guide

<p>Not only that, but the area has a storied history; Originally, a hamlet in the seventeenth century, by the Regency period, Bayswater began developing under Edward Orme who constructed Moscow Road and St. Petersburgh Place, which he named in honour of Alexander I of Russia.</p>
<p>Gradually over the following decades, the remaining open spaces were built and Bayswater became an urban area of affluent residential streets and garden squares. The area has also been home to some notable residents, including J. M Barrie, Prime Minister Tony Blair, Sting, and Winston Churchill. Here is our guide to the area.</p>
<h2><br>Community Overview</h2>
<p><br>Bayswater has a diverse and affluent demographic, including a significant number of international residents. The area is popular with families, young professionals, and retirees alike, drawn in by the excellent schools, including Wetherby School and Pembridge Hall, and the verdant green spaces such as Kensington Gardens and Hyde Park.</p>
<p><br>The presence of several embassies and consulates in the vicinity adds to Bayswater's international allure, attracting diplomats and expatriates from around the world. Despite its central location, Bayswater offers a relatively quiet and residential feel, particularly in the more secluded garden squares and mews streets. These areas provide a peaceful retreat making Bayswater an appealing choice for those seeking both convenience and tranquillity.</p>
<h2><br>Where to eat and drink in Bayswater</h2>
<p><br>For British fare with some interesting twists, try Hereford Road, run by ex-St-John Bread and Wine chef Tom Pemberton. Appropriately located in a former Victorian butcher’s shop, the restaurant specialises in meat-focused dishes.</p>
<p><br>If you’re looking to try a taste of Persia, dip into Hafez, a local favourite, where once you’ve been, you’ll keep coming back. A blend of ancient Persian food mixed with more modern Iranian, the Family-run restaurant has been open since 1983, a testament to its delicious food.</p>
<p><br>If you fancy something a little more Mediterranean, Aphrodite Restaurant is a traditional Greek taverna serving up classic dishes, including souvla, oven-baked kleftiko, and lip-smacking moussaka.</p>
<h2><br>Cultural Landmarks</h2>
<p><br>You can’t go to Bayswater without taking a stroll of Kensington Gardens and Hyde Park, which sit right next door. You can even go into Kensington Palace and take a look at the staterooms. From here, head to The Serpentine, one of London’s best art galleries, a favourite for modern and contemporary art, or visit The Print Room, an arts space in an old Coronet Cinema, home to a fringe theatre with a plan is to restore the cinema itself as well. Every Sunday Bayswater Road becomes one big art gallery, with more than 150 artists and craftspeople displaying their work.</p>
<h2><br>Events and Activities</h2>
<p><br>A bookshop, a cafe and a cultural centre, The Idler Academy is, where you can learn penmanship with calligraphy classes, deep dive into philosophy, or become a self-defence expert. On Moscow Road, St Sophia’s, the Greek Orthodox Cathedral has a little Greece surrounding it, and there is a wonderful Greek Deli, The Athenian Grocery. Westbourne Grove is the area’s main shopping street leading from Bayswater to Notting Hill. One of only a handful of ice rinks in the Capital, Queen’s Ice and Bowl offers 12 lanes of ten-pin bowling and All-Star Lanes is also a popular choice.</p>
<h2><br>Education</h2>
<p><br>Bayswater has plenty of schools, both state and private, the area is also home to award-winning comprehensives. The top-rated comprehensive schools in the area all have an "Outstanding" rating. Westminster Academy, in Harrow Road, offers co-educational education for ages 11 to 18. Meanwhile, Paddington Academy on Marylands Road is also an excellent option.</p>
<p><br>Not to be overlooked, Holland Park, situated in the serene Airlie Gardens, maintains its reputation for excellence with a co-ed curriculum spanning ages 11 to 18. For those seeking quality education from an early age, Ark King Solomon in Penfold Street, Lisson Grove, welcomes students as young as three up to 18.</p>

<h2>The Property Scene</h2>
<p><br>If you want an apartment, Bayswater’s flats outnumber houses eight to one. But that doesn’t mean there aren’t beautiful houses available in the area. The wonderful Connaught Village is famous for its pretty family properties, while a few multi-storey homes can be found in the area's Victorian terraces, showcasing stunning architecture and period features.</p>
<p><br>Perhaps, most excitingly, the iconic Whitely’s shopping centre is being transformed into a luxury development, creating a ‘shopping and eating out village’. This ambitious project promises not only high-end retail and dining options but also exclusive residential units, offering a unique blend of convenience and luxury living. The nearby newly-opened Crossrail at Paddington also means the area is being redeveloped quickly, enhancing connectivity and accessibility.</p>
<p>The area is being transformed, and beyond the new buildings and developments, the regeneration will include modernised shop fronts and add greenery to rooftops, creating a more sustainable and aesthetically pleasing environment. One of the main changes will be the upgraded pedestrian experience. By narrowing commuter traffic to a single lane and reducing parking spaces, the plan will widen pavements and add plenty of trees, making Bayswater a nicer place to wander around, and encouraging a vibrant community atmosphere.</p>

<h2>Final Take</h2>
<p><br>Bayswater’s rich cultural tapestry, top-tier restaurants, and numerous green spaces make it an attractive place to live, work, and explore. The area's ongoing development projects promise to enhance its appeal further, meaning its popularity is ever-increasing. Whether you're drawn to its historical charm, excellent educational institutions, or a convenient location near the heart of London, Bayswater provides a unique and compelling living environment for a wide range of tastes and preferences.</p>
