Welcome to a very special part of London

The Hyde Park Estate is bounded by Bayswater Road, the North of Praed Street, Westbourne Terrace and Edgware Road. It borders Hyde Park and is within walking distance of the West End. The Hyde Park Estate Association was registered in 1952 to protect the architectural heritage, amenities and overall tranquillity of the local environment. It is an Amenity Society registered with Westminster City Council.

The Association’s aims and objectives are to:

• Foster a strong sense of community among its residents and businesses

• Represent community needs and concerns to various local authorities and other statutory bodies

• Promote high standards of planning and architecture in the area

• Secure and maintain the amenities of the area and the preservation, protection development and improvement of features of historic or public interest.

• Share useful and relevant information about the local community and the issues that impact them.

THERE ARE A NUMBER OF ISSUES THAT ImPACT OUR NEIGHBOURHOOD EVERY DAY

The issues the HPEA is most focused on are:

• Transport, with an aim to redirect non-residential commercial vehicles rat-running through the area to limit the resulting air and noise pollution and impact on pedestrian safety

• Working closely with police to identify crime, especially antisocial behaviour, theft, vice, physical and property crimes

• Planning, to maintain the heritage and character of the area

• Fly-tipping

• Short-letting

• Prostitution, vagrants and beggars who are brought to the area for this purpose.

Many of these are discussed at our monthly pub evenings on the third Tuesday of the month at The Victoria pub, between Sussex Place and Hyde Park Square.
