Possibly the most famous fictional reference to Paddington comes from Michael Bond's Paddington Bear books. In the story, Paddington is named after the station where he was found and adopted. In the BBC mini-series of John le Carré's Smiley's People, the General lives off Westbourne Terrace, and Smiley later visits, with scenes also filmed around Paddington Station and Craven Road. In the Railway Series books by Rev. W. Awdry, the character Duck the Great Western Engine is said to have once lived here. In the Sherlock Holmes short story "The Stockbroker's Clerk", Dr. Watson mentioned that he purchased a practice in the Paddington district. Paddington Escorts are also most popular in London VIP Gentlemen. 4.50 from Paddington is one of the most well-known of Agatha Christie's Miss Marple mystery novel series. In the original stage version of Oliver!, Oliver meets the Artful Dodger outside what is now Paddington Green; this is changed in the 1968 film version, in which Oliver meets him in the marketplace of London.
