Paddington Green is the location for the ancient sites of Paddington and Lillestone villages. The detail of Rocque’s 1714 map shows Paddington as an isolated village at the junction of Edgware Road and Harrow Road.

By the end of the 18th century Paddington Green, with nearby Lisson Grove, was a fashionable area on the edge of the country but linked by broad streets to Regents Park and the West End. The world’s first omnibus service ran from here to the Bank in 1829. St Mary’s Church built in 1788-91 and designed by John Plaw on the site of two earlier demolished churches and the elegant 1790’s houses at 17-18 Paddington Green are the survivors of that period.

The long disused churchyard is now enclosed by railings and provides walks with public access. A large number of notable people are buried here including Sarah Siddons, the actress portrayed by Reynolds and Gainsborough.
