While Isambard Kingdom Brunel and Paddington Bear are still celebrated in W2, an exciting collection of property to rent in Paddington is allowing a new wave of home movers to enjoy this ever-changing London area.

Paddington is far more than just a train station with a cluster of shops and hotels bolted on. An ambitious regeneration project is well underway, with shiny new buildings, the renovation of old favourites and masses of inward investment.

Culture and the arts in PaddingtonTake a step back in time at St Mary’s Hospital, which is home to the Alexander Fleming Laboratory Museum. It’s the very spot where Fleming discovered the antibiotic penicillin in 1928 - earning him a Nobel Prize. The laboratory is presented as it was in 1928 with the addition of displays and videos detailing how penicillin changed medicine.

Culture and the arts in PaddingtonA must is the Paddington Public Art Trail, which tells the story of Paddington’s past, present and future. The trail begins inside Paddington Station at the Unknown Soldier sculpture on platform one. Look out for the two-dimensional portraits that celebrate famous people connected to the area - nurse Mary Seacole, codebreaker Alan Turing and writer Michael Bond - author of Paddington Bear

Three Sheldon Square is a new addition to Paddington where you’ll find a terraced amphitheatre, a Nuffield Health Fitness and Wellbeing Centre complete with a pool, and a 4* international hotel with a bar, restaurant and terrace. Sheldon Square itself is part of the bigger Paddington Central redevelopment zone, which is emerging as a retail and arts epicentre.

Leisure Time in Paddington

As well as new office and leisure facilities, Paddington Central offers a full programme of events, which have included a summer music programme, activities such as human table football, giant garden games, a weekly farmers’ market in the summer months and vintage fairs. Paddington’s Frontline Club is invitation-only but if you're a media professional or journalist, you’ll probably make the cut. If not, the club’s restaurant is well-respected and open to all.

Leisure Time in Paddington

There’s something for everyone - no matter how big or small your budget. In and around Praed Street is great for a quick browse that won’t break the bank. If you like your shops family run, independent or boutique in nature, head to Kendal Street and Connaught Street, where names such as ME+EM, Horiyoshi, De Roemer, Cocomaya and Firmin House are operating. The Whitleys Centre is where Paddington residents head for high-street labels with the added bonus of an Odeon cinema and an All Stars bowling/bar experience.
