Introduction: On the Bayswater Road opposite Hyde Park and
close to Paddington Station is the Ramada Jarvis Hyde Park Hotel. This is a
central London location, just to the North West of the centre. Bayswater is
quite a mix of shops, upmarket residential apartments and many budget/tourist
class type hotels. The area has a large middle eastern population and the nearby
Edgware Road caters to this market with many middle eastern type shops and
restaurants. Opposite the hotel
Hyde Park
along with Kensington Gardens forms one of London's most popular open spaces
with much to see and do including horse riding, boating (weather permitting),
the Serpentine gallery,
many statues and dedicated garden areas along with several places to eat and
snack. The hotel is within walking distance of shopping, bars and public
amenities notably at Queensway (includes an ice skating rink, swimming pool and
covered shopping centre called Whitley's),
Kensington High Street and Notting Hill this is a great location to base a
sightseeing holiday from. Bayswater Road itself is a busy main road where London
Taxi Cabs are always easy to hail and where on Sundays a busy market for
paintings and art works take place. The Bayswater Road is actually part of the
A40 dual carriageway which goes all the way out to Oxford and beyond. Less than
half a mile way is the famous Portobello Road Market where an antique market
takes place on Saturdays and where the shops are open all week. Nearest
attractions include
Kensington
Palace (0.4 miles),
Linley
Sambourne House (0.7 miles), Royal Albert Hall (0.8 miles),
