What to do and see in Paddington / Maida Vale, England: The Best Things to do
The crown jewels, Buckingham Palace, Camden Market…in London, history collides with art, fashion, food, and good British ale. A perfect day is different for everyone: culture aficionados shouldn't miss the Tate Modern and the Royal Opera House. If you love fashion, Oxford Street has shopping galore. For foodies, cream tea at Harrod’s or crispy fish from a proper chippy offers classic London flavor. Music and book buffs will love seeing Abbey Road and the Sherlock Holmes Museum (at 221B Baker Street, of course).

We booked a London essentials tour with Notting Hill Bike tours and it was perfect. Ola is a great guide, he knows a lot about London and knows funny stories, anecdotes. The tour duration (3hours) is perfect to have a good overview of the city and the places we stopped by were very interesting. Thanks again Ola for this nice morning tour !
3. Victoria Miro Gallery

4.5 based on 46 reviews
Visit this art emporium considered to be "the most beautiful commercial gallery in London," by Time Out magazine.
Reviewed By SadekMario - London, United Kingdom
I live next door, and used to be a Art and design student and London was my base throughout those very formative years and during that time - 1997 / early 2000 I visited a lot of museums and art galleries and Victoria Miro was already a well known name in the art scene then. I was very impressed by their absolutely sturdy, wavy concrete structure with smart and wide glass walls facing the courtyard in which there is a magnificent installation that could be disguised as a “submerged” and decrepit ruins of an old and rusted house or dwelling of sorts, complete with ferns and shrubs growing on / in it. Loved it and reminded me of Milan or Palermo even. Collections and exhibitions change constantly you will find those listed in any magazine or website about London Art galleries

We took our grandchildren aged 5 & 3 to see My Shadow and Me by Drew Colby on a Saturday morning and it was quite brilliant - fascinating, funny, and very clever. An hour is enough for their ages. And we enjoyed wandering around Little Venice and surroundings before and after the performance.

Museum features the reconstructed 1928 laboratory of bacteriologist Alexander Fleming, the founder of penicillin.
Reviewed By annrA3160OY
The Alexander Fleming Museum is where Fleming discovered Penicillin. It's open in the mornings and into the afternoon. It's best to check the opening hours. It is by St Marys hospital in Paddington and has all tbe original equipment that Fleming used and is fascinating. There is lots of history there and well worth a vit. Ann

Reviewed By Dencroft - Hertfordshire, United Kingdom
We try to walk the Regent Canal at least once a year from Kings Cross Station up to little Venice (about 6km) with a detour around Coal Drops Yard. Saturday afternoon on an overcast November, nice walk to Camden which was absolutely heaving with people once through - again really nice walk, stopped at crockers folly for a glass of wine and beer (beautiful interior) on Aberdeen Place as you have to come up from the canal towpath. Then on into little Venice for late lunch at the Warwick Castle Pub. Got the underground train back via bakerloo line at Warwick Avenue. Fantastic afternoon as always!

Great spot next to Oxford Street. Professional staff and they really care of the quality of drinks. When the barrel with lager almost finish one of the bartenders gave me a pint of lager. But she knew that the beer last beer from the barrel doesn't taste good so she changed for a new pint. I don't think so that in diferent bar someone would be able to do it. Unfortunately I can't remember her name but she is liitle chubby smiling girl with long dark hair and she is really good what she does. She cares. Well done. Can't wait to have a drinks soon.
9. Maida Vale
Overall Ratings
4.0 based on 35 reviews
Located just to the north west of Paddington, this area is predominantly residential, with architecture dating from the Edwardian era.
Reviewed By therichastill - Stevenage, United Kingdom
Maida Vale is an area in London. The main road that runs though the area is the A5 from Marble Arch ultimately to North Wales. The road is named Maida Vale as it goes through the area and then becomes Kilburn High Road as it enters Kilburn. There are two Tube stations in the area - Maida Vale and Warwick Avenue, both on the Bakerloo Line. Walking through Maida Vale there are a huge number of flats, many in very fancy buildings. The Regents Canal also goes through Maida Vale to Little Venice which is nice to walk beside.
