Junction Mews is a picturesque cobbled cul-de-sac in the heart of Paddington, discreetly tucked away off Sale Place within the City of Westminster. Accessed beneath an archway opposite Rainsford Street, Junction Mews is one of the area’s most distinctive historic mews, originally developed as stable and coach house accommodation for the grand Victorian homes lining nearby Star Street and Sussex Gardens. Today, the mews is admired for its attractive period buildings, unique architectural features and peaceful residential setting.

The character of Junction Mews is enhanced by several remarkable conversions that reflect its rich heritage. Among its most notable properties is a former hayloft and warehouse, now transformed into an exceptional contemporary home featuring an original first-floor bridge that has been converted into a striking roof terrace. The mews is also home to the beautifully restored former Boatmen’s Institute, originally established to support canal boatmen working around Paddington Basin during the Victorian era. This handsome red-brick building has been sensitively converted into an impressive architect-designed residence, while other former commercial buildings, including a historic wine merchant’s premises, have also found new life as distinctive homes.

Situated within Westminster City Council’s Bayswater Conservation Area, Junction Mews enjoys an enviable location just moments from Connaught Village, Hyde Park and Paddington Station, with Marble Arch and the West End also within easy reach. The mews has been home to notable figures, including actor David McCallum, and retains many reminders of its fascinating past, from its surviving historic buildings to charming details such as a replica Paddington station clock and commemorative plaques. Combining period character, architectural interest and an outstanding central London location, Junction Mews is one of Paddington’s most desirable mews addresses.
