About Hyde Park & Bayswater

Hyde Park is famous worldwide for its incredible green spaces, outstanding lifestyle options and superb access to the rest of London and the city centre.

Many buyers are attracted to this beautiful area’s grand white stucco terraces and garden squares. Residents tend to be families taking advantage of the good schools here or professional couples and singles appreciating the easy commute to Central London and South Kensington.

Properties in Hyde Park and Bayswater

Most of the housing is found in desirable, large, white stucco-fronted buildings, which generally enjoy 2,000-4,000 square feet over 4 or 5 floors. These are often split into flats and arranged around garden squares such as Hyde Park Gardens and Hyde Park Street. The smaller mews houses are also popular and offer a little community in themselves. These period properties tend to attract European and English buyers.

Purpose-built mansion blocks with porters that look over the park are popular investment opportunities realised by foreign investors from all over the world. The renowned Hyde Park Estate provides rental houses and flats that are highly desirable.

Bayswater has benefited from recent regeneration and is home to more high-spec apartment blocks than previously.
