Eastern Suburbs
Taxi bookings in Paddington
Paddington is a suburb of Victorian terraces, narrow one-way streets and boutique shopping along Oxford Street. The Saturday markets draw crowds, and Allianz Stadium and the SCG are just across Moore Park.
Many of the terrace streets are too narrow for a car to stop in without blocking traffic. The driver may pull up at the nearest corner, so give your house number and a cross street.
