MenuPaddington, Middlesex
Paddington is a metropolitan district and ancient parish in Middlesex. The origins pf Paddington are unclear, though the village, which developed alongside the ancient Harrow Road to the west of Watling Street (Edgeware Road), remained separate from the growing metropolis into the 19th century. The arrival of the Grand Junction Canal in 1801 and the first Paddington railway station in 1838 gave impetus to the urbanisation of the parish throughout the 19th century. For local government purposes, from 1900-1965, the ancient parish was the basis of Paddington metropolitan borough. Paddington station (1847) was designed by Isambard Kingdom Brunel. The Church of St Mary on Paddington Green (1791) is the third church on the site. It was replaced as the parish church by St James's Church in 1843. The district is within the council area of Westminster.
