There is only one place in London where you can wake up, open the curtains, and have Hyde Park right in front of you. In this video I step inside Park Modern on Bayswater Road — the curved, wave-fronted development by PLP Architecture that finished in 2023 — and tour a fourth-floor three-bedroom apartment in full. We go through the 24ft open-plan reception with its curved balcony, the Gaggenau kitchen behind pocket doors, the central hallway, the principal bedroom and en suite, and the second bedroom, and I explain what makes this building different from every other new-build in central London. Whether you are relocating to London, buying a second home here, or looking at prime central new-build for investment, this is the walkthrough I would want before booking a viewing. Would you live on Hyde Park? Let me know in the comments. ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ ⏱ CHAPTERS 0:00 — On the balcony at Park Modern 0:33 — Bayswater Road, and why the location works 0:55 — Inside the three-bedroom, fourth floor 1:44 — The kitchen and the pocket doors 2:44 — The central hallway 3:07 — The principal bedroom 4:03 — The principal en suite 4:24 — Bedroom two and the curved wall 5:10 — Is Park Modern worth it? 📍 PROPERTY COVERED 🏘 Park Modern — 117-125 Bayswater Road, London W2 · directly on the north edge of Hyde Park 🏘 The apartment — fourth floor · 3 bed, 3 en suite plus guest cloakroom · wraparound balcony 🏘 Reception — over 24ft open plan living and dining · curved glazing onto Hyde Park · cove ceilings 🏘 Kitchen — Gaggenau appliances · pocket doors for full separation · room for an island 🏘 Specification — hardwood herringbone floors · marble detailing · comfort cooling throughout 🏘 Building — by Fenton Whelan, architecture by PLP · completed 2023 · c.30,000 sq ft of amenities including a 25m pool Thinking about Bayswater or a new-build in prime central London?

Comment DATABASE and let's get you ahead of it 🤝 ✨ A new national landlord database is coming — and I’d rather my clients be ready before it reaches their area. The Private Rented Sector Database is expected to begin rolling out region by region from late 2026, with national coverage continuing into 2027. It isn't mandatory just yet. But that doesn't mean you should wait. Safety certificates. Ombudsman registration. Property details. Compliance paperwork. Getting everything in order now means you're not scrambling when registration reaches your area. I'm already building this into onboarding for every client — so when the database goes live, there's nothing left to chase. 📋 If this feels relevant, the full compliance checklist is free — just pop in your email at LondonLandlordAdvisory.com and I'll send it straight over. #UKLandlords #LondonLandlords #PropertyInvestment #PrivateRentedSector #LandlordCompliance #UKProperty #PropertyManagement #LandlordTips #BuyToLet #RentalProperty ♦️♦️About Me ♦️♦️ I'm a London based property agent Having moved over from America, I love helping my clients find the perfect home and discovering this fabulous city.

The PRS Database Is Rolling Out
✨Great to be back at the US Open! 🎾🇺🇸 This time with my brother, which made it even more fun. As a longtime tennis lover, I still get a little thrill knowing I’ve been lucky enough to attend all four Grand Slams — the Australian Open, Roland-Garros, Wimbledon and, of course, the US Open — some of them more than once! Naturally, we also had to get our hands on the famous Honey Deuce 🍹 — apparently more than $17 million worth were sold at last year’s tournament. Clearly, we were just doing our part. 😂 And we didn’t just watch tennis while I was home. We managed to get in some playing time too — with Yankee Stadium as our backdrop. How very New York is that? 😂🎾⚾️ Definitely one of my favourite ways to spend time with my brother.💕 And yes… the hat commemorating all four Grand Slams had to come home with me. 😁 #USOpen #GrandSlam #TennisLover #NewYork #FamilyTime ♦️♦️About Me ♦️♦️ I'm a London based property agent Having moved over from America, I love helping my clients find the perfect home and discovering this fabulous city.

At the US Open! 🎾🇺🇸
London has a design month every September. It just doesn't have an official name. Between the 12th and the 20th, four separate festivals run across the city at the same time — London Design Festival across eleven official design districts, Material Matters in Shoreditch, the V&A's Digital Design Weekend in South Kensington, and Open House Festival opening buildings in all 33 boroughs. In this video I walk through all four, what each one is actually for, where they happen, and how I'd plan a weekend around them without trying to see everything. PAD London follows in October, so there's one for the diary too. Whether you live in London, you're visiting, or you're thinking about buying here, this is the month the city lets you inside the buildings you normally only walk past. Which one would you go to first? Let me know in the comments. ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ ⏱ CHAPTERS 0:00 — Why September is the best time to be in London 0:24 — 1.

Comment LAW and I’ll send you the checklist 🤝 ✨ Awaab’s Law already has legal teeth in social housing — and private landlords are next. Just not quite yet. Extending it to the private rented sector has been confirmed in principle following the government consultation, but the exact timescales and requirements for landlords are still being finalised through secondary legislation. That doesn’t mean landlords should wait. Tenants are already more aware of their rights, and complaints around damp and mould are being taken more seriously across the board — long before the formal rules land. I’d rather my clients respond quickly now than find themselves scrambling to understand the requirements later. If you’re a landlord, the full compliance checklist is free. Just pop your email into LondonLandlordAdvisory.com and I’ll send it straight over. 🏠🇬🇧 #AwaabsLaw #LandlordUK #UKProperty #PropertyInvesting #BuyToLet #PrivateLandlords #LandlordTips #RentalProperty #PropertyManagement #UKLandlords
