Maida Vale Area Guide

Leafy Maida Vale is one of the capital’s most affluent residential neighbourhoods and its stunning array of properties is the biggest draw for families, city commuters and the celebrity set.

For an area so close to all the amenities of central London, Maida Vale has been able to retain something of a village feel with a strong sense of community.

Maida Vale fact file

  • The area of Little Venice is a particular haven with its quiet streets, Georgian townhouses and canal side views.
  • The name Maida Vale is taken from a pub called ‘The Maida’ which stood on the Edgware Road until the turn of the 21st century.
  • The Pub's name in turn was a reference to Napoleonic war general Sir John Stuart, who won a victory at the town of Maida in Calabria and was named its Count.
  • The BBC’S Maida Vale Studios and Abbey Road Studios have played key roles in the British music industry.
  • Including the famous zebra crossing at Abbey Road occupying the border between Maida Vale and neighbouring St John’s Wood.
  • Many prominent residents have graced the streets of Maida Vale, with WW2 codebreaker Alan Turing and actor Sir Alec Guinness both born here.

Architecture and property

Properties in Maida Vale range from Victorian conversions to purpose-built new developments, so there is something to appeal to young families, commuters and international buyers alike. The area’s leafy avenues are lined in the main with striking period mansion blocks housing characterful apartments and charming terraces, while grand Georgian stucco fronted villas overlook the tranquil waterways of Little Venice.

Shopping and amenities

Fitness fans can make use of the facilities at the Bannatyne Health Club and Energie Fitness gym near Kilburn Park station. The world-class shopping, attractions and amenities of central London are just a short tube journey away.

Going out

Maida Vale has many eateries on offer, including flavours of Italy at The Red Pepper and homestyle cooking at Paulette. Diners can enjoy exceptional seafood at The Summerhouse.

Entertainment comes in the form of an Everyman Cinema, the Canal Café Theatre with its genre-spanning roster of live shows and the one-of-a-kind Puppet Theatre Barge, which will amuse adults and children alike.

Green space

A short journey east takes you to the renowned Lord’s Cricket Ground and the expansive Regent’s Park, a historic grade I listed Royal Park encompassing 410 acres of manicured lawns and gardens. Primrose Hill offers some of the most dramatic views of the capital’s skyline taking in such iconic landmarks as St Paul’s Cathedral and the Shard.

What does our local Hamptons community think

In today's challenging rental market, finding a supportive agent can be crucial. I'm grateful for the exceptional assistance and care I received from Hamptons throughout the application and moving process. Oliver, in particular, stood out with his responsiveness and genuine concern for my needs. From our first interaction, I felt fully supported and confident in his dedication to my best interests. Thank you Oliver, for helping me find and secure the right flat for me!
