Maida Vale Online

Welcome to Maida Vale. This is a guide to the Maida Vale area.

This is a residential area with many blocks of flats. The large church was built 1871 to 1898.

In this area are many blocks of flats with "mansions" in their names.

This picture was taken on Malvern Road. "Welcome to Dickens House", says the sign on the left. Austen House is through the walkway, Blake Court is to the right of the walkway. These flats, and many nearby, will be demolished soon for a much needed but controversial regeneration project. There was recently a police raid on this estate which recovered several guns and a significant quantity of crack cocaine, cash and other items.

The block on the left is Ashworth Mansions; it overlooks Paddington Recreation Ground.

Paddington Recreation Ground, actually in Maida Vale, was saved for public use in the 19th century as the surrounding land was built up. Today it is administered by City of Westminster Council and incorporates facilities for a wide variety of sports. This area in front of the pavilion, called the Village Green, has an (artificial) cricket pitch.

Paddington Recreation Ground has a wide range of sporting facilities including a running track, tennis courts, a cricket ground and a bowling green; there is still room, however, for the mainstay of any municipal park, a bandstand.
