Paddington 2 was recently released in cinemas, but there’s more to this area than the bear with a fondness for marmalade
With an all-star cast, including Oscar nominee Julie Walters and Golden Globe Winner, Hugh Grant, Paddington is back in the limelight as the famous location for the long-awaited Paddington 2 film.
The cuddly bear from Peru is beloved across the globe, but that is not all the area of Paddington has to offer.
Proving to be one of the most popular districts for real estate investment, house prices are still relatively low in Paddington when compared to other areas of central London, although they are expected to see impressive growth next year due to improving transport connections, a £1 billion regeneration and high quality apartments.
With that in mind, take a look at these three properties on the market now in an enviable central location, with great transport links.

Designed by Assael Architecture and Powell Dobson Architects, the development occupies a 3.8 acre site, with green spaces meticulously incorporated into the heart of the scheme. Paddington Gardens is the only development of its kind in Paddington Basin to offer such a feature, and will provide a haven for wildlife, children’s play and recreational use.
