Paddington Station

 

In 1854 Paddington Station, between Bishops Bridge Road and Praed Street opened. The station was designed by Isambard Kingdom Brunel with much of the architectural detailing carried out by his associate Sir Matthew Digby Wyatt.

          

Inside, the structure of the arched    interior of the station is an  impressive  example of Victorian engineering –  one of the earliest buildings to take advantage of the new style of architecture.

Today, Paddington Station or London Paddington as it is now known is one of the most historic of the London Stations as well as one of the busiest for the modern day train traveller.

 

With the emphasis on continually improving the information service they offer their millions of passengers, the decision was made to create a central public information centre, situated centrally in the  station, this would be mobile to be moved if required, of a  substantial construction and must look appealing and suited to its station environment.

 

 

Great Western First Transforming

Travel turned to Progress Furniture

Systems in Kent and from there it 

was a case of which design plan

best suited the needs of

the station.

 

 

Progress immediately turned

to their favoured manufacturer,

JF Nott,  having worked together

on previous projects. Putting

their design and CAD planning

skills to work JF Nott were able

to propose ideas

which enabled the Station

to consider several

options and designs.
