Lancaster Gate
Westminster, London
Lancaster Gate sits in north-west Westminster on the north side of Hyde Park, a ward of Italianate stucco terraces laid out in the late 1850s and 1860s as palatial residential blocks, many of which were later converted into hotels. The ward has the richest heritage profile in London by the database's scoring: 113 listed buildings, with conservation area cover at 84%, including the Grade II* Hallfield School by Lasdun and Tecton, the Grade II* Church of St James, and the Grade II* 3 and 5 Porchester Terrace. Public-transport access is very good at Lancaster Gate and Paddington, and the food and retail scene at 198 food and 123 non-food venues draws on the hotel belt along Bayswater Road. Hyde Park sits immediately over the southern boundary. The downsides: green space inside the ward is under one hectare, air quality along Bayswater Road and the Westway is worse than the London median, safety scores sit below the London median driven by hotel-district theft, and market affordability is tight for what the ward offers.
