It is a very expensive area. But if you do find a place, Paddington Basin is a beautiful unexpected area. It’s a gem hidden behind Paddington station. You have everything here...

The architecture is simply stunning. Hyde park is at your doorstep. Paddington and quick connection to Heathrow airport is very handy too

Elsewhere, privately rented flats are the dominant housing type. Residents of these areas are well-qualified, with a significant number holding Level 4 or above qualifications. There is a correspondingly high level of individuals employed full-time in professional, managerial and associated professional or technical occupations.
