Once a rural village, it is now home to notable landmarks such as Paddington Station, a key hub for rail travel since 1854, and St Mary’s Hospital, where Alexander Fleming made his groundbreaking discovery of penicillin in 1928. The area’s name is also immortalised in the beloved character of Paddington Bear, created by Michael Bond, whose adventures began in the station and continue to charm readers worldwide. Nearby, the historic Tyburnia area recalls the grisly past of the Tyburn gallows, where public executions took place until the 18th century. Paddington has also been home to notable figures, including the celebrated actress Sarah Siddons, who lived here during her later years. Today, Paddington blends its rich past with contemporary urban development, including the picturesque canals of Little Venice and the ongoing transformation of Paddington Basin. The area’s mix of historical landmarks, medical innovation, literary fame and modern conveniences makes it one of London’s most dynamic and cherished neighbourhoods.
