Monthly parking near Bayswater.

Bayswater's stucco terraces are mostly flats and hotels now, and Westminster controls the kerb throughout. Hotel coaches, cabs and delivery vans take whatever the permit bays leave. Genuine off-street space means mews garages and hotel car parks, both spoken for more often than not.

Hyde Park and Kensington Gardens are across the road, which explains the weekend traffic; Queensway and Bayswater stations, plus Paddington just north, explain the weekday sort. The Whiteley development and the hotel trade keep visitors, contractors and staff all looking for the same scarce bays.
