Background and Brief History.

Bayswater is in the Borough of Kensington and Chelsea. Located in central London within the City of Westminster. At one end it borders Hyde Park and reaches up to Paddington and Notting Hill.  Originally first noted in the doomsday book as ‘Baynard’s watering’, a place where springs of excellent water once supplied water to Baynard’s household or his cattle. This name stood preserved but continuously being shortened over time. Baynard’s watering place eventually shortened to the present day’s Bayswater.
