Our Lady of Sorrows, Cirencester St, Paddington (Roman Catholic)
An unusual building of 1912 next to a school which had its hall built on top in 1916. The east end was damaged by fire in 1966 and rebuilt and refurnished during 1967. Until 2023 it was also home to a Lebanese Maronite community. Some of their art is still here but they now worship in the other church in the parish in Harrow Road.
St Mary’s Hospital Chapel, Praed Street, Paddington
On the 1st floor of the Mary Stanford wing. I assume it dates from Sir William Emerson’s extensions of 1904?
The Archdiocesan Chapel of the Annunciation of the Mother of God (Greek Orthodox), 5, Craven Hill, Paddington W2 3ENT

St David Welsh Church, St Mary’s Terrace, Paddington (former) now used as a primary school
A Welsh language Anglican church very close to St Mary Paddington Green. It was built in 1896 by C. Evans Vaughan. It has been shared with a French school for some time and was recently declared redundant. It is approached through a gateway at the side of housing.
