Yesterday was my first drive to Paddington for over a month; having passed through many large European city terminus stations recently (and yes, often at a similar time, this was around 0730), I took a moment to stand and consider how Paddington compares to some others…
We love this antique map of Shakespearean London showing Paddington as a village outside of the capital. You can see it for yourself by catching

Canal looking super sparkly this evening. A great big welcome to Bondi Green, who have just opened opposite Darcie and May. Outdoor dining 🌴🍔🥘🍷🍹 aplenty.
Brand new towpath is now open opposite Paddington Station’s canalside exit, meaning you can now walk all the way from the head of the basin up to the Brunel Building and Bishop’s Bridge. Station Bridge has been reconfigured to land canalside.🚶🏼♂️🚶🏼♀️
