What is the house number of the Brown family’s home in the Paddington stories?

The story behind the answer

The Brown family’s home in the Paddington stories is 32 Windsor Gardens.

Paddington is taken in by the Brown family after they find him at London’s Paddington Station. The family home, described as being at 32 Windsor Gardens, becomes the main domestic setting for his adventures. It is where Paddington meets the Browns’ neighbours, deals with household mishaps and develops his place in the family.

Windsor Gardens is a fictional address rather than a real London street used as the Browns’ home. The address is sometimes confused with Paddington Station, but the station is where the family discovers him, not where they live.

The number remains associated with the character across adaptations. Although television series and films may alter details of the setting, 32 Windsor Gardens is the canonical address in the original Paddington stories and is one of the series’ best-known location details.
