Visit from Lord Mayor

Last Saturday we were very pleased - along with many local residents - to welcome the Lord Mayor of Westminster, Cllr Duncan Sandys, to Paddington Rec.

The Lord Mayor was here to re-open the much improved bowling green, to name the gate on Randolph Avenue and to name the refurbished pavilion. The green now has a fantastic new hut available to use, which has been extensively improved by the Council over the Spring.

Our Lord Mayor is part of the Churchill family and the gate was named after his great-great grandfather, Lord Randolph Churchill who was instrumental in securing the land for Paddington Rec at the end of the 19th century.

Thanks to all local residents who came out for a really enjoyable afternoon.

Alastair, Lee and Jan
