Paddington
Where to eat and drink in Paddington, West London. Chosen on merit by Lamplit London.
Paddington has reinvented its canalside: the basin behind the great railway station is now a waterside quarter of restaurants, bars and floating terraces, a world away from the platforms and taxi ranks. With the Grand Union Canal at its centre and Little Venice a short walk north, it does a surprisingly relaxed brand of central London.
Our Paddington guides round up the best of it, from the waterside restaurants and bars to the hotels worth checking into. Chosen on merit, for a canal-side lunch or an easy first night in the city.
