A station that was once home to the first underground trains in the 1860s, Paddington Station has a history that lives to this very day. After 165 years, the station continues to shine; today, it is one of Britain’s best-loved stations. The railway station is on Praed Street in the Paddington neighborhood of central London. Designed by Victorian architect Isambard Kingdom Brunel, Paddington station, also known as Paddington Underground Station or Paddington Railway Station, is one of London’s busiest stations. Its design was inspired by the construction of Crystal Palace in Hyde Park and was created as part of the Great Exhibition of 1851, which explains the abundance of glass and metal in Paddington station's design.
