Bayswater is a slightly rich and wildly cosmpolitan. It’s close to Paddington Station, in the northwest of central London. It’s next to Kensington Gardens and Hyde Park. It has a large amount of restaurants, pubs and shops and a really great community feel. As is usal with this type of area, rent is high. Rents tend to very between ‘just expensive’ and ‘ridiculously prohibitive.’ It's probably a bit too expensive for the average student, but if you can afford to live here, in one of the beautiful terraces, then it is a perfect area to experience and explore central London. Ironically, living in Bayswater is most convenient for those studying at the Royal College of Art. It’s also close to the Imperial College in Knightsbridge, but you can always get to other nearby universities quickly, such as SOAS, The University of London, The University of Westminster or City University.
