What is the name of Paddington Bear’s fictional London home street?

The story behind the answer

Paddington Bear’s fictional London home street is Windsor Gardens.

The Brown family lives at 32 Windsor Gardens, where Paddington becomes their adopted household member after they meet him at Paddington station. The address is one of the recurring details that anchors the stories in a recognizable but fictionalized London setting.

Windsor Gardens should not be confused with Paddington station, which is where the Browns find him, or with Portobello Road, an important nearby setting associated with Mr Gruber’s shop in the stories. The street name belongs to the Browns’ home address.

The number 32 is also part of the familiar address in the books and adaptations. Screen versions may depict the house differently, but Windsor Gardens remains the canonical fictional street connected with Paddington and the Brown family.
