Recent events have transpired, and it seems that my boyfriend and I may be moving back to London within the year (Hallelujah!) We’re in New York right now, which is nice but not my cup of tea. If we do end up in London, he’ll need to get to Paddington easily, as he’ll be commuting to Oxford. So I&#...

Does anyone know what the thing hanging over the ticket barriers in the middle arch at Paddington is? It looks like a lost rucksack, but it’s 15m up… JooPoo

My grandmother used to take me to see him; I remember being told that he arrived as a kitten, and then spent all his time being fed and thoroughly spoilt by the attendants, growing bigger and bigger, un...

I am meeting someone tomorrow for a work-related thing. She’s coming in from Oxford so can anyone suggest a pleasant cafe where one can do work-related things for a couple of hours at least and is not over noisy, somewhere near Paddington. Ish. ? On a Sunday.

Can anyone please provide good knowledge of reasonably cheap lunchtime places to eat, drink and be merry – interspersed with nearby landmarks and knick-knack shops to visit – around Paddington on a Thursday ? I guess any must-see options you come up with can involve an afternoon of short bus/tube-rides ...
