    Maida Vale is a great place to enjoy London!! I mean the real posh side of the City, last time I was there I got surprised of how clean, organized and simply "British" everything was over there. I saw the beautiful victorian houses and could just imagine Lords and Ladies having tea at 5pm and chatting about politics :) WOW just so glamouros!!
