Some people might find it a bit bizarre, but the area rarely gets much attention as a residential zone. This lack of attention might be a consequence of the fact that Paddington itself is overshadowed by both the busy Paddington Station, which people mostly visit to get on and off the Heathrow Express, and a well-known fictional Peruvian bear named after the aforementioned transport hub. Nonetheless, our dear Paddington is a beloved combination of the best that London has to offer. A diverse group of residents contribute to the energy of this vigorous yet well-behaved pocket of London.
