What locals say about W9
“It is elegant, affluent, convenient and tree lined. It is safe to walk the streets at night and to frequent the lovely pubs and cafes. One can enjoy top rated films in the charming Everyman cinema or visit the Bridge House for an evening of theatre and good dining. There is nowhere like it in London.”
Elliott
“I love W9 because it brings many cultures together. Queen's Park is a little more rustic with the village-style high street. Maida Vale is the far more glamorous part of W9, but the contrast between the two is what makes this a great place to live.”
Min
“Picturesque houses and home to arguably the best park in town from a fitness perspective in Paddington Recreation Ground (newly laid track, tennis courts, indoor/outdoor gyms and so much more).”
Bryn
“Maida Vale is the perfect combination of close enough to central London, yet far enough to relax. There is the most welcoming feel about the area all year round, not just in the summer.”
Tabassum
“Lovely quiet streets, Victorian terraced houses, gems like The Truscott Arms with amazing food and beer, and 20 minutes walk from Hyde Park - it's tough to beat.”
Volodymyr
“It's great. Good restaurants and pubs nearby. Within walking distance to Notting Hill, Portobello Road, Queens Park and loads of other great places. Good transport links to Central London and motorways. Nice parks. The Little Venice Canal nearby with nice cafes. Very, very happy living here. Love it. It has everything and to boot it has a nice residential feel to it too (not like parts of Camden / Islington, where it is just manic).”
Local resident
“The best part of living in Maida Hill? Difficult, so many good things: including convenient location for travel in and out of Central London Buses and Tubes (Zone 2) / walking distance of many good pubs and restaurants / good community / diversity / quietness.”

Franciszka Themerson Stories from the Life - Early Paintings and Drawings from Warsaw and London
The Ben Uri Research Unit (BURU) is happy to present Franciszka Themerson’s Stories from the Life. The exhibition includes the paintings and drawings from her student days at the School of Fine Art in Warsaw and some of her later works in London. Most of them have never been exhibited in England. Of the early works, made in Poland there are 3 paintings, and 19 drawings made between 1929 and 1933, which will be shown in the main gallery. When the exhibition ends, they will be donated to the National Museum in Warsaw. The lower galleries will include works from the 1940s when Franciszka begins to experiment with abstract forms and bright colours. Even though Franciszka Themerson illustrated and designed books, was director of Gaberbocchus Press, made films with her husband Stefan Themerson, designed for the theatre, she was primarily a painter. Her paintings developed from the very tightly crafted, densely coloured scenes of events within interiors of the earliest works, to later images whose meaning could be read in several different ways. The comparison is both puzzling and interesting. The exhibition is accompanied by a small catalogue about the early works, edited by Jasia Reichardt and designed by Pedro Cid Proença.Read more
