In this walk, I started off on a diversion which was not on the route to take a look at a nice mews and a Malaysian restaurant.
Retracing back to Bayswater station, I turned north along Queensway and, in the video, mixed in a series of older mapping to illustrate the history of the area.
Further up Queensway, I lingered outside the former Whiteley’s store before turning into Porchester Gardens.
Navigating, we got via Leinster Place to Leinster Gardens. Now, eagle-eyed readers will know that this is the site of the fake houses above the District line tracks. But I didn’t featured that this time as it’s done in the Lancaster Gate to Queensway video.
Queen’s Gardens and Devonshire Terrace feature fabulous architecture.
If you are interested in such things, where I linger at the west end of Chilworth Street in the video, looking at a shop, in the early nineteenth century I would have been getting wet feet standing on the river bed of the River Westbourne.
In the twenty first century, Chilworth Street runs all the way to Eastbourne Terrace and Paddington station.
