"23 and 24 Leinster Gardens are not what they seem - a false facade blends in with the neighbouring properties and hides the railway tracks behind. This outside section allowed fumes to escape from the tunnels at a time when the trains were steam powered."

The garden squares in Bayswater really add to the area's charm.

David Roberts

I love walking around Bayswater and looking at the elegant Georgian architecture.

Rebecca Boon

Little Venice's canals add to the charm of the area - it really is like being in Italy!
