The Prettiest London Neighbourhood You've Never Heard Of

Maida Vale Travel Guide 🇬🇧

Maida Vale sits in the very heart of London, just a short walk away from Paddington and yet remains somewhat overlooked by tourists. In this video we'll take you on a full tour of the beautiful London district, including top attractions, things to do, and hidden gems.

We'll begin our visit at Little Venice, the meeting point of three bodies of water and a spot which is particularly beautiful to visit during the autumn. There we'll learn more about the history of Maida Vale before heading towards the oldest garden centre in London.

Next we'll explore the residential streets of the area, stumbling across Victorian architecture, modern churches, pubs, and blue plaques that commemorate famous people to have once lived in Maida Vale.

While there is no main shopping high street per se, one road comes pretty close, Clifford Street. Home to plenty of independent businesses, there we'll meet the owner of a wine shop which has been in operation for several decades. Finally, we'll head to nearby Abbey Wood to discover some locations closely associated with the Beatles.
