Where to eat

From breakfast to dinner and everything in-between, Paddington really hits the spot. Just around the corner from your hotel, wake up with a hot cup of English tea to go at the AFKA coffee shop before taking a seat in any number of popular brunch spots in the area. From Darcie and May Green to The Waterside Cafe in Little Venice, you’ll be spoilt for charming choices.

Whether you’re in the mood for authentic Asian cuisine at favourites such as Satay House and Pearl Liang, or fancy a fresh seafood feast at The Summerhouse, there are authentic restaurants nestled all around this lively London area.

There’s even a floating park framed by lush green spaces for you to feed both yourselves and the local wildlife. Take a picnic onto the open lawn and dine amongst the vivid flowers. And if you visit during the breezy, summer months, seasonal roof terrace pop-up Pergola Paddington provides a flavourful barbeque and panoramic views of the city.

If you are looking for a different dining experience, GoBoat London sets sail from Merchants Square, a stone throws away from easyHotel Paddington and offers guests food and drink on a large picnic table in the middle of the boat. Diners sail along the London canal network up to Little Venice, along regent canal up to the famous Camden Lock. The perfect, unique way to enjoy a picnic in London!

What to see

Paddington is always alive with energy and full of the buzz of commuters, tourists and general London folk bustling about. It’s also home to Paddington bear, so it’s only right you catch a glimpse of such a famous face during your trip. Meet under the clock on Platform 1 of Paddington train station, where a gleaming life-sized statue of Paddington Bear sits. For a fun family adventure and a budget-friendly activity, follow the Pawprint Trail or unearth all 22 bear sculptures on The Paddington Public Arts Trail. You could even scope out a guided walking tour around the area.

The tree-lined gem that is Hyde Park lies just a hop, skip and a couple of minutes walk away from Paddington Station and is a great place to come for a family picnic or romantic stroll. The colourful Kensington Gardens, picturesque sights of Regent’s Canal and charming waterways of Little Venice should also be a must-see on your London Paddington to-do list. Think calming canal boats and majestic swans bobbing along the riverbanks.

If you are visiting London to watch the cricket, easyHotel Paddington is a perfect hotel for you as we are just a short journey by car, tube or a 30 minute stroll to Lords Cricket Ground.

For those seeking a bargain, a visit to London’s largest indoor market is a must. Alfie’s Antique Market houses rustic furniture and vintage clothes only a 15-minute amble from your comfy Paddington hotel. The new development of Paddington Central is also a must see during your stay in London. The bustling campus is packed full of shops, cafes, bars and restaurants with plenty of space to sit outside for an al-fresco lunch to take in the atmosphere in the heart of Paddington in London’s west end.
