Praed Street (/prd/) is a street in Paddington, west London, in the City of Westminster, most notable for being the location of London Paddington station.[1] It runs south-westerly, straight from Edgware Road to Craven Road, Spring Street and Eastbourne Terrace. East of Norfolk Place, the street is one-way eastbound; westbound traffic has to use Sussex Gardens and Norfolk Place, and this includes the eight London bus routes that serve the street: the 7, 23, 27, 36, 205, N7, N27 and N205.
