In 1888, Westbourne Park, Paddington, Bayswater, and Edgware Road were bustling areas of London, each with its unique character and history.

Westbourne Park was a working-class area, with a mix of industry, shops, and housing. Paddington was a more affluent area, known for its grand squares and terraces. Bayswater was also a fashionable area, with many wealthy residents and attractive homes. Edgware Road was a busy commercial street, with many shops and businesses.

Historical places of interest in the area included the Paddington Workhouse, which was one of the largest workhouses in London and provided housing and support for the poor. Lords Cricket Ground was also located in the area, a famous sports venue that still hosts international matches today. Kensington Gardens (north) was a popular park, featuring the Serpentine Lake and the Albert Memorial.

Transportation in the area was well-developed, with Notting Hill Gate Station, Queens Road Station, and Praed Street Station all providing easy access to other parts of London.
