| Paddington: trains, boats, buses - and bears at
Continuing our exploration of London's Victorian suburbs: once a hamlet nestling around a green, close by the River Westbourne, and surrounded by farms, Paddington didn't become part of London until the 19th century, when the arrival of the railway, the canals, the first London horse drawn omnibus service and the world's first underground railway all contributed to its dramatic growth. Our walk will take in Brunel's magnificent station, the Regent's Canal and Paddington Basin, and the stuccoed terraces alongside Little Venice. There's a chance to see the extraordinary regeneration at Paddington's Waterside ¿ and of course, there is that bear who is 50 this year!
