Wherever you stay in the capital, there will be a tube station which will get you into the city centre in under an hour and a larger train terminus to zip you out into the wider UK. It is this ease of travel that makes the city so vibrant and diverse. Many people from across the world all communing in one space, all connected by the plethora of travel options into the city. Of course, Rome wasn’t built in a day; London’s transport links have been built up over centuries of development. Paddington is a great example of this, retaining centuries of history, bringing together the likes of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, Queen Victoria, Paddington Bear and many other London icons. With great accommodation including the Park Grand Kensington and boundless activities to take advantage of, Paddington is certainly one to consider when thinking about areas to stay in London.
