The Union Paddington is a bar and restaurant at 4 Sheldon Square, beside the Grand Union Canal and close to Paddington station. Its spacious interior and waterside terrace create a lively setting for breakfast, lunch, after work drinks, dinner and larger social gatherings.
Small plates include olives, sourdough, croquettes, crisp haddock and other dishes designed to share over drinks. Tacos, salads and vegetable plates bring colour and flexibility to the selection, with seasonal ingredients and carefully sourced British produce guiding the kitchen throughout the year.
Beer battered fish, an aged beef burger, steak with fries and chicken schnitzel provide familiar and substantial mains. Pasta, vegetable curry and a composed plant based bowl add meat free choices, while responsibly sourced fish, traceable meat and seasonal vegetables remain important across the menu.
Weekend breakfast and Sunday menus broaden the restaurant’s appeal beyond the working week. Craft beer, cocktails and an international wine list make the bar central to the experience, while flexible event spaces and group packages allow The Union to host celebrations, meetings and informal parties.
Address: 4 Sheldon Square, Paddington, London W2 6EZ, United Kingdom
