Westbourne Terrace Road Bridge

This bridge carries Westbourne Terrace Road across the Grand Union Canal, just west of Little Venice. The plaque was erected by the Metropolitan Borough of Paddington which existed from 1900 until 1965 when it was absorbed into the City of Westminster in the reorganisation of London's local government that created the Greater London Council and abolished Middlesex. Despite this, the plaque has been maintained; the blue background comes from the arms of Paddington's first mayor, Sir John Aired, and it appears that this theme has been carried over to the bridge railings. The spire in the background belongs to St Mary Magdalene Church.
