About Paddington

Well known for the beloved character of Paddington Bear and Brunel’s Great Western Railway masterpiece, Paddington has offered a warm welcome to visitors for over a century; evolving magnificently to become one of London’s most celebrated and most sought after locations to do business, live, work and visit.

A wealth of cosy hotels, traditional pubs, wide-ranging restaurants and trendy bars make Paddington much more than just a supreme link to the rest of London and beyond. And with the convenient and speedy Heathrow Express, you can travel from Paddington to the heart of Europe’s busiest airport in 15 minutes.

A pleasure for avid shoppers, Paddington is a stones-throw away from the prestigious Whiteley’s and world famous Oxford Street. It is also situated in between two of London’s biggest and most beautiful open spaces; Regent’s Park and Hyde Park.

Whilst steeped in history with charming mews and winding waterways embracing the delightful Little Venice, the area also salutes innovation, giving way to state of the art developments at Paddington Waterside.
