History of Medicine in Paddington
A walk designed and delivered by Barbara
St Mary's Hospital and the canals provide the background to this walk which explores topics like the role war has played in medical discovery, the epidemics of the 18th and 19th centuries, the hospital itself and of course the discovery of penicillin.

Architectural Highlights of Paddington
A walk designed and delivered by Caroline
This walk starts with the engineering and architectural feats of Isambard Kingdom Brunel and his colleagues, finishes with elegant waterside Regency terraces in Little Venice, and along the way takes in the ultra-modern developments along Paddington Basin by some of today's leading architects.
