Paddington, London falls under the W2 postcode, along with neighbours Bayswater and Westbourne Green. It was made famous by the fictional Peruvian bear, named after Paddington Station.

Location

Paddington is located in Zone 1 in the Borough of Westminster in Central West London. It is situated to the west of Marylebone and the north of Hyde Park, and covers the postcode W2.

Shops and Amenities

More than a decade of investment has led to new ultra-modern housing and office buildings and the Paddington Waterside project, which has transformed the area around the canal into a thriving hub of restaurants, shops and green spaces.

The area surrounding the station also plays host to a variety of cafés and restaurants. We recommend venturing north towards Sheldon Square or further south to the lovely Connaught Street. Known as Connaught Village, this neighbourhood has a distinct local feel and is home to great independent retailers, restaurants and cafes while nearby Edgware road is the place to enjoy some of the best Lebanese food that London has to offer. 

The West End’s theatres, cinemas and restaurants are all a short walk away. There is an Odeon Cinema on Edgware Road near Marble Arch, and a museum in Alexander Fleming’s old laboratory in St Mary’s Hospital. A disused Royal Mail sorting office has been turned into a performance space.

Transport links

In Zone 1, Paddington is served by the Bakerloo, Hammersmith & City, District and Circle Tube lines.

There are National Rail services towards the West Country as well as the Heathrow Express for the airport.
