The destination after a long rail trip
-
And here I am at London!
-
Paddington rail station to be exact

Diggin the old chunky industrial look the station has

A mix of old and the new, but still all round old. :P

Not any bear, but Paddington bear himself!

On the london underground

The station do get rather packed at times, but the trains are regular enough to clear them up
