Vent pipe for the (lost) River Westbourne on Sutherland Avenue
I believe that this is a vent for the pipe through which the River Westbourne was diverted in 1850, during the building of Maida Vale.

Terraced housing in Maida Vale
While most of the buildings in the Maida Vale and Maida Hill areas of London were built as flats (known locally as "mansion blocks"), some terraces were built with whole houses. Since then most of these have now been converted into flats.

Public house on Shirland Road
The pub is now a gastropub/bar, called "Idlewild". For many years it was a traditional local pub, called "The Truscott Arms".

Public Library on Sutherland Avenue
The Maida Vale Public Library is on the corner of Sutherland Avenue and Shirland Road.
It has recently been modernised inside, but before this modernisation it held the criminology department of the British Library on the first floor (around the current balcony area).
One other odd fact about it is that it doubled as the police station in the 1980s ITV series, Minder, improvised by simply placing a "Police" sign on the gatepost.

Mews Street in Maida Vale
My favourite mews street in Maida Vale because it's unmodernised and the locals keep it in good condition.
It's called Pindock Mews and is between Castellaine Road and Warwick Avenue.
