Hyde Park
Westminster, London
Hyde Park ward covers Bayswater, Paddington and the northern edge of the park itself, one of the most heritage-dense wards in the city. The whole area sits largely within a conservation area and has 103 listed buildings. The Grade I London Paddington station complex — Brunel's main train shed of 1854, built as the London terminus of the Great Western Railway in wrought iron and glass inspired by the Crystal Palace exhibition held in Hyde Park three years earlier — anchors the station end. Grade II anchors include Arvon Court and Wilson House. Public transport is very good, with Paddington on the Elizabeth line, Bakerloo, Circle, District and Hammersmith & City plus mainline services. Eighteen outstanding schools lie within reach. The drawbacks: green cover within the ward proper is very thin at just over one hectare, with Hyde Park itself sitting to the south; safety readings are well below the London average thanks to station and tourist footfall; and air quality is the worst in this batch because of Marylebone Flyover and the A40.
