A block north of Hyde Park between Connaught Square and Paddington

The real estate agents would call it Connaught Village. But not far from Marble Arch, Easy walk to Mayfair when our office was there and when it moved into the city had a couple options on the tube or bus. Was there 2010-15. Had a coworker that lived out in Chiswick. Nice area. Familiar with Hammersmith, Fulham, Putney but Barnes doesn’t ring a bell.
