Which London station appears in the title of the 1975 animated series Paddington?

Paddington Station appears in the title of the 1975 animated series Paddington.

The series is commonly known by its full title, Paddington, or by the longer title Paddington Bear. Paddington Station is central to the character’s origin because Mr and Mrs Brown find him there after he travels from Peru. The station’s name becomes the bear’s adopted name when he cannot provide a more convenient one.

The 1975 television production used a distinctive visual style combining animation with illustrations and models. It was produced by FilmFair and based on Michael Bond’s books. The programme helped introduce Paddington to television audiences well before the later live-action films.

Other London stations are sometimes selected because they are famous railway landmarks, but they are not the station associated with Paddington’s name. The connection is also reflected in the real station’s Paddington Bear merchandise and visitor imagery.
