Margravine Gardens in Barons Court (please feel free to pass on to family and friends)
“We had a fantastic stay at Margravine Gardens. The hosts responded very quickly to our reservation request, provided us with a lot of very useful information, and replied quickly when we had questions. The apartment is lovely, and the location was quiet with a village-like feel. We walked to most places (the Design Museum, V&A) and the local pub is lovely. There were local shops and grocery stores nearby. I’d highly recommend it, and would definitely choose to stay here again.”

Fantastically useless facts about Barons Court that you can bore people with at dinner parties…
Barons Court tube station was built in 1905 for the District Line Railway (it’s also on the Piccadilly Line these days)
The area has many parks and green spaces, including Field Road Park, Bayonne Park and Normand Park
Tennis fans take note: the Queen's Club, scene of the Wimbledon warm-up competition in June, is about a Rafa Nadal serve and volley’s distance from this apartment
Margravine Cemetery, one of the largest in West London, is on the same road. It is well known as a haven for flora and fauna (watch those toupees folks if the pesky parakeets start dive-bombing). Addendum: parakeets are a recent import into London, there were two back in 1990, there are now about a million living on every street in London just waiting to rid you of jewellery, handbags and ice cream.
The name Barons Court is thought to derive from the Baronscourt estate in Ireland, but someone was only guessing!
The historic St Paul's Studios houses are sited on the Talgarth Road (The King’s Speech was filmed there)
The area has a really rather lovely theatre called the Barons Court Theatre, with only 52 seats, and it’s in the basement of an equally lovely pub called The Curtain’s Up. Which is handy, if you like drinking beer before and after watching plays
