Paddington Local Information
Paddington was recorded as the name of this area as early as 1056,
and in the Old English means ‘Patrick’s farm’
– Padda (Patrick) and tun (farm), with ing thrown in for good
measure, meaning ‘place’. There are several famous people
to come from Paddington, namely Alexander Fleming (discovered penicillin)
and mathematician Alan Turing. Paddington train station is where
Paddington Bear was ‘found’, and the station has a statue
of the bear. Paddington Bear is set to star in his own movie and
has just signed a deal to advertise Marmite, a far cry from his
favourite marmalade sandwiches. The song “Pretty Polly Perkins
of Paddington Green”, published in 1864 also put Paddington
in the spotlight.
Paddington is about to get a new waterside development, complete
with cinemas, childcare a gym, art galleries, theatres and museums,
restaurants of every cuisine imaginable and more.
Use your car hire to get to any other form of transport –
a walking, bicycle or coach tour of the city, river cruises or steam
train trips. Or take the children to the playground on Paddington
Street – it’s free and contains flower gardens and an
enclosed playground. Something for the older children: Paddington
Arts this year celebrated 20 years of serving the community, in
particular young people, providing them with a centre for performing
arts and media.

town you never knew existed!
