Paddington - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Paddington is in the City of Westminster, London, England, 2.2 miles (3.5 km) west-north-west of Charing Cross. |
 | | Paddington has several famous sons, notably Alexander Fleming, the scientist who discovered penicillin (a plaque commemorating this is placed outside his laboratory at St Mary's Hospital on Praed Street); and Alan Turing, the mathematician (there is a plaque on the hotel where he was born, The Colonnade in Warrington Crescent). |
 | | In the station there is a statue of Paddington Bear, a character in children's fiction who, in the book, is discovered at this station and hence named after it. |
