Maida Vale is an electoral ward of the City of Westminster. The population at the 2011 Census was 10,210.[1] The ward covers the area south of Kilburn, north of Little Venice and west of St John's Wood, bordered by Maida Vale (A5), Shirland Road, Sutherland Avenue and Kilburn Park Road. The ward contains Paddington Recreation Ground, Lauderdale Road Spanish & Portuguese Synagogue, Saint Augustine's church and is home to the BBC Maida Vale Studios. The area is served by Maida Vale station on the Bakerloo line, in addition to several bus routes running through the locality. There are two primary schools, Essendine Primary School and St Augustine's Primary School, two secondary schools, St Augustine's CE High School and St. George's Catholic School, in addition to three GP surgeries located in the ward.[2]

The original Maida Vale ward, created in 1964, was larger in size and elected five councillors.[3] For the May 1978 election, the ward was split into two: Maida Vale and Little Venice, each electing three councillors. There were minor boundary changes in 2002 and 2022.

The ward currently returns three councillors to Westminster City Council, with an election every four years. At the last election in May 2022, three candidates from the Labour Party were elected to represent the ward.
