The interior of the Church of St Mary Magdalene in Paddington
The Church of St Mary Magdalene in Paddington was completed in 1878 and is Grade I Listed. The architect was George Edmund Street. It was built near the Grand Union Canal in a very poor area with the belief that services full of light, colour and music would appeal to the poor.
It is said to be the finest Victorian ceiling in the country. The ceiling is divided into 12 sections, with male saints on the south side (right here) and female saints on the left side. When the church was built men sat on the left side so they looked up at the male saints and could be inspired and women sat on the right side and could look up at the female saints.
Over the years the ceiling became very dirty and discoloured, not only from pollution from fog and smoke outside, but also from candles and incense inside the building. In 2018, 20 conservators worked over six months to clean a century's worth of dirt and grime. The result is stunning.

The Ha'penny Bridge, Paddington Arm, Grand Union Canal
This footbridge connects Delamere Terrace on the south side with Blomfield Road on the north. Although the present bridge is relatively new, there has been a footbridge here for very many years: at one time a toll of half an old penny per person per crossing was levied.
