London City Guide

Hotel accommodation in Bayswater

Bayswater is the area west of Paddington station and north of Kensington Gardens. It’s a good place to start looking if you’re after a reasonably-priced mid-range hotel. If you want something a bit higher then maybe try Paddington instead.

The only attractions within walking distance are Hyde Park, Kensington Gardens and Kensington Palace. Marble Arch and the shops along Oxford Street are close enough as well. If you walk across the park then you can get to the Royal Albert Hall. But anything near the West End and beyond is going to require a bus ride or tube train.
