Every Stop Has a Story

Mr Gruber's Shop

Mr Gruber's antiques shop is played by a real Notting Hill store on a market street that only started selling antiques in the 1940s, decades after it began as a simple food market.

Paddington Meets the Browns

Paddington Bear's entire story began when author Michael Bond bought a lonely toy bear from a shop inside this very station in 1956, then decided it needed a family to find.

Millicent Clyde's Office

The evil taxidermist Millicent Clyde works inside a museum built on a deliberately grand scale in 1881, with soaring ceilings designed to hold the era's growing collection of large skeletons and specimens.

Millicent Clyde's House

Millicent Clyde's house sits on a street once home to artists Richard Carline, Fred Uhlman, and Dora Carrington, among the finest surviving Georgian streets in London.

Phoenix Buchanan's House

Phoenix Buchanan's house sits on a square that wasn't even called Chalcot Square until 1937, renamed after the historic estate that once stood on this site.

The Browns' House

Although the films make it look like Notting Hill, the Browns' real house is in Primrose Hill, a curving street of pastel-colored houses built in the 1850s and 60s on what used to be open fields.

The Geographer's Guild

This real Pall Mall institution, founded in 1836, plays the fictional Geographer's Guild where Paddington's story turns in the first film.

Felicity Fanshaw's Office

Phoenix's agent works above the ruined undercroft of a medieval priory that once served as headquarters for the Knights Hospitaller, an order founded in Jerusalem to aid pilgrims.

Phoenix Pretends to be a Nun

Phoenix sneaks into St Paul's disguised as a nun in Paddington 2, a cathedral so protected by law that there are still London viewpoints where nothing can ever be built tall enough to block it.

Paddington Stands Trial

Paddington stands trial in Paddington 2 inside the oldest secular building in the Square Mile, one that has survived the Great Fire and the Blitz, though it lost its roof in both events.

Mr Brown's Office

Mr Brown's office sits inside the tallest building in the UK, built between 2009 and 2013, where visitors today can grab dinner or drinks with a view over the whole city.

Phoenix Searches for Clues

Tower Bridge was deliberately designed to look somewhat like a castle so it wouldn't clash stylistically with the Tower of London standing right beside it.
