So we saw the film ‘Paddington’ over the holiday period, and were delighted to see there was a bit of filming on the London Underground where the famous bear grapples with the escalators at … Westbourne Oak Tube station.
A combination of Westbourne Park and Royal Oak? It would seem so! And they are the two stations immediately after Paddington station when heading west on the Hammersmith & City line.
Of course it was actually filmed at Maida Vale, something we spotted the split second it appeared on the screen, with its distinctive exterior; and, after tweeting about it, a nice man called Adrian Scottow got in touch as he’s a local and took pictures of when they were filming the scenes back in November 2013.
