An assemblage of mean streets lies on the southern edge of the populous parish of Paddington, in a parallelogram bounded by Oxford and Cambridge Terrace on the south, Praed Street on the north, Edgware Road on the east, and Spring Street on the west, in a parallelogram bounded by Oxford and Cambridge Terrace on the south, Praed Street on the north, and Edgware Road on the east and Spring Street on the west.
