Maida Vale's Western Mews, previously known as Carlton Mews, showcases a blend of historical charm and modern redevelopment. Initially designed for horses and staff, it transformed into private homes for affluent residents. Key landmarks include a former pub now replaced by flats, along with decorative ironwork added in 2018 by a local business. However, the redevelopment failed to improve pedestrian space, highlighting missed opportunities amidst the area's evolution. The mews still features elements like Victorian stables and a modern building that contrasts sharply with its heritage, offering a unique urban landscape.
The redevelopment of the former Prince of Wales pub into a block of flats lacked adequate space for pedestrians, presenting a missed opportunity for the area.
The modernisation of some buildings among the mews contrasts sharply with the historical charm, revealing a mix of old and new within the urban landscape.
Despite its evolution from a horse stable area to private homes, the mews retains its allure for those who appreciate its secluded character.
In 2018, decorative ironwork was added by a local metal fabricating business, blending contemporary touches with the historical ambiance of the mews.
