Paddington Station

Brunel's London terminus

Paddington Station is a major railway terminus in west London, serving routes to western England, Wales, and the Heathrow Express.

Named for its surrounding district, it was designed by Isambard Kingdom Brunel and opened in 1854.

The station lends its name to the children's character Paddington Bear, found there by the Brown family: We'll meet under the clock at Paddington.
