>> An Introduction To Paddington
Paddington has a lovely Victorian-era ambience and character, with leafy streets and terrace houses complete with wrought iron balconies. Stroll through the quiet streets and discover fashionable boutiques, antique shops, tiny art galleries, and plenty of culture.
The narrow, windy streets are lined with old terrace houses, many of which have been renovated. It is a very trendy place to live, being so close to the city, and is a must see for anyone interested in historical architecture. Marvel at the old buildings and their distinctive character.
Experience Oxford Street and all the shopping that it offers, with a kilometre-long stretch of boutique shops and trendy cafes waiting to be explored. Get your chocolate fix along the way with a stop at the Max Brenner Chocolate Bar. It features a large collection of fine chocolate to tempt your tastebuds.
Paddington is a must visit for art lovers, with 45 distinct galleries scattered throughout the suburb. Glenmore Road is where most of them are located and a stroll along here will give you an opportunity to admire the different styles.
Visit the establishment that is the Paddington Markets, held every Saturday in the grounds of the Paddington United Church. 250 stalls crowd the area every week, offering an immense variety of goods from unique clothing and art to jewellery, pottery and produce.
Brush up on your military history and pay a visit to the Victorian Barracks, Australia's oldest military base. Opened in 1848, the Barracks first hosted British Troops, before the New South Wales colonial forces took over and based themselves here in 1870. Today the Barracks still operates and houses both the Headquarters Land Command and Headquarters Training Command.
Paddington also featues a vibrant nightlife and is home to a large number of pubs. It is often the scene of a pub crawl as people visit old establishments before heading into the city.
The suburb is also home to the immense Sydney Football Stadium, the home ground of the Sydney Roosters Rugby League, NSW Waratahs Rugby Union and Sydney FC A-League teams. Get involved in the local sport and watch a game. Live the atmosphere as the fans cheer for their teams.
Experience one of the oldest suburbs in Sydney and the character it exhibits. For fantastic shopping, dining and architecture, Paddington is a must visit.
