St Mary on Paddington Green Church, Georgian church in Paddington Green, England.
St Mary on Paddington Green Church is a Georgian church building with a Greek cross floor plan in the center of Paddington. Its walls are built from yellow London brick with white stone accents, and a shallow dome rests on four supporting columns.
The church was designed by architect John Plaw in 1788 and consecrated in 1791. It is the third building on this site, following earlier medieval structures that served the parish before being replaced.
The church serves as a gathering place for the Paddington community and remains actively used by its congregation. Its role as a spiritual center has shaped the neighborhood's life since the late 1700s.
The church is located at the junction of Edgware Road and Harrow Road in a busy part of the city. Visitors should check in advance about access times and services, as these may vary with religious calendars and community events.
This is one of only two surviving buildings in the United Kingdom designed by architect John Plaw before he moved to Canada. Its rarity makes it especially noteworthy for those interested in architectural history.
