A major project called Paddington Waterside aims to regenerate former railway and canal land between 1998 and 2018, and the area is seeing many new developments. Offshoot districts (historically within Paddington) are Maida Vale, Westbourne and Bayswater including Lancaster Gate.

The basin commences 500 m south of the junction known as Little Venice, of the Regent's Canal and the Paddington Arm of the Grand Union Canal and runs for a similar length east–west. It was opened in 1801, with Paddington being chosen as the site of the basin because of its position on the New Road which led to the east, providing for onward transport. In its heyday, the basin was a major transshipment facility, and a hive of activity. Since 2000, the basin has been the centre of a major redevelopment as part of the wider Paddington Waterside scheme and is surrounded by modern buildings.

Norfolk Square is a rectangular garden square in Paddington in Central London. Located in the City of Westminster, it is part of the Tyburnia district north of Hyde Park. It runs east to west from London Street to Norfolk Place. Praed Street and Sussex Gardens are directly parallel to it north and south respectively. The street was developed on the site of a former waterworks of the Grand Union Canal. It was one of three located close to what became Paddington Station, another of them becoming Talbot Square. It was developed in the early Victorian era, and along with Talbot Square became a residential location for the wealthy. At the eastern end was All Saints' Church, built in 1847, but later demolished and replaced with the more modern Edna House apartments. At the western end of the square, across London Street, is the Sawyer's Arms pub. Numbers 2-22, terraces of 1840s stuccoed housing, are now Grade II listed as are the slightly later numbers 24–42. Notable residents have included the scientist Hertha Ayrton who live there from 1903 to 1923 and is now commemorated with a blue plaque.

The Merchant Square Footbridge (also known as The Fan Bridge) is a moveable pedestrian bridge spanning a canal in Paddington, London. It is architecturally and mechanically unique, being composed of five side-by side sections of varying lengths, with offset pivots to accommodate the varying lengths. When opened, the segments are brought to varying angles of elevation. The visual effect when opened has been likened to that of a Japanese fan. Not to be confused with the Fan Bridge which crosses Holland Brook (formerly known as the Holland River) between Little Clacton and Great Holland in Essex (UK) (OS Grid Ref: TM 19710 18667 / Latitude 51°49'24"N Longitude 1°11'12"E).

Sussex Gardens is located in Paddington in Central London. It is a street that runs runs westwards from the Edgware Road, for most of the way as a broad avenue until it reaches an area near Lancaster Gate where it becomes a garden square. Part of the City of Westminster, it is located in the residential area of Tyburnia north of Hyde Park. Streets running off it include Westbourne Terrace, Talbot Square, London Street and Southwick Street. Sussex Gardens provides the main axis for the area.The street was originally known as Grand Junction Street, named after the nearby Grand Junction Waterworks. It was laid out as part of the ambitious street plan for Tyburnia in 1809, designed by the architect Samuel Pepys Cockerell. Delays, partly caused by the Panic of 1825, meant that the street wasn't fully completed until the early Victorian Era to a revised plan by George Gutch. The first houses were available for lease in 1826 at the Edgeware Road end. The space in between it and the Uxbridge Road to the south was half laid out by 1839. Before long the street and surrounding terrain was a fashionable residential centre. St James's Church was constructed as the new parish church of Paddington, the current building of today designed in 1881-82 largely replacing an earlier building established in the early 1840s. By the twentieth century, the street had become known for the large number of boarding houses and hotels located on it. Like the nearby Sussex Square, Sussex Place and Sussex Mews, it derives its name from the title of the Duke of Sussex, younger brother of George IV and William IV.
