Settle into this spacious 1950s Mews house less than 10 minutes walk to Hyde Park. Windows overlook cobblestone streets below. There’s something to be said about a vintage dwelling that can pull off contemporary furnishings, high ceilings, and walnut flooring.
Staying in a mews house is a unique experience. Originally these small cobbled central London streets were built to house stabling for the large houses on either side. Over the years they have become some of the most desirable residences in London
We’ve long been fans of 1950s design and chose this because it was built in the 1950s and designed to be easy to live in.
Our house is warm and welcoming with two bedrooms and two bathrooms. It's spotlessly clean with high ceilings, walnut flooring and iconic "Crittal" windows looking out onto the Mews.
At 100 sqm, it's the perfect size for a London stay, compact but not small (by London standards) and equipped with everything you could want
We use the house ourselves when we are in London but we live mainly in Amsterdam. It is our London home and not a investment rental property and you will feel the personal nature of the property when you stay here. It feels like a home with lots of books, artworks and design items.
But as a guest you won’t see more mundane or unsightly signs of our presence :-)
We keep our own things on the third floor. This will be locked and off-limit to guests. The rest of the house is fully accessible and yours to enjoy and make your own.
We make the house available when we're in Amsterdam or travelling so would not normally be available for guests. However we have a concierge service for immediate help and are always available ourselves at the end of the phone line.
Paddington is a brilliant location for a London stay. Think of living in a Mews like living in a village with places like Paddington Station and Hyde Park all within reach. Though the home is quiet, Central London moves at full speed right outside.
A London Mews is like a small community where everyone knows everyone else. So please don’t stay here if you are looking for complete privacy and anonymity; the Neighbourhood Watch is very efficient!
This is a ridiculously convenient place to live. It's hard to believe that Heathrow Airport is only 20 minutes by train and yet you're only a 10 minute cab ride to the heart of London's West End.
If you want to catch a tube, there are three underground (tube) stops within 5 minutes walk (Paddington, Bayswater and Lancaster Gate).
For peace and serenity in the heart of the city, you're less then 10 minutes to Hyde Park. From there you can walk to Westminster without ever leaving parkland or take a boat ride on the Serpentine.
If you want to cycle, the new London Cycle-Super Highway runs less than a minute from the house. This is a protected route all the way across London. Whilst we don't provide bikes but there are bikes available very close by.
And if you want to get out of town to Oxford, Bath and the west country, then hop on a train from Paddington. Oxford is less than 60 minutes away!
Or you can pick up a rental / zipcar and the main westbound freeway out of London is just a minute's drive too
There is no parking available but you don't need a car in central London. You can hire one close by if you want to make a day trip
There are no handrails on the stairs nor child gates or protectors of any kind.
So although we do welcome families, the house isn’t “kid-proof” and isn’t robustly furnished nor well equipped for youngsters.
But we have many friends with kids and they use our place when they come to London. So this isn’t a deal breaker of course so long as you understand the house’s limitations
There are only two beds. The one is the master bedroom is a super-kingsize, width 180cm and 200cm long
The one in the guest bedroom is 200cm wide but it’s a little short at only 180cm long. So great for children, teenagers and shorter adults. We orientate it this way because of the room depth.
This is central London. Even in a Mews there is noise. And there will inevitably be construction work somewhere close by. Londoners are always making changes to their homes, digging up roads et cetera
