Bayswater
Westminster, London
Bayswater covers the ground between Hyde Park and the Westway in north-west Westminster, a ward of white stucco terraces, garden squares and the faded grandeur of the Queensway and Westbourne Grove shopping corridors. Around 89 percent of the ward falls inside a conservation area and the listed-building set of 83 entries is led by the Grade I New West End Synagogue, the Grade I Greek Cathedral of Aghia Sophia and the Grade II* Porchester Centre. Public-transport access is very good, anchored by Bayswater, Queensway, Paddington and Lancaster Gate. Thirty-two outstanding-rated schools sit within reach, and the culture and food venue counts are among the densest in the batch. The drawbacks are familiar. Safety sits at 23 well below the London median reflecting theft and tourism-related crime, pollution scores are weak at 25, green space within the ward is essentially absent at 0.8 hectares, and the market score of 30 reflects prime-central pricing — residents walk to Hyde Park and Kensington Gardens.
