London Paddington station opened for traffic as early as 1838 - and the current station dates to 1854, when it was constructed by one of the most famous British engineers of the Victorian era: Isambard Kingdom Brunel - he took inspiration from the Crystal Palace n Hyde Park, built for London exhibition of 1851. The station has, of course, seen much rebuilding since then, especially with the increase of traffic - but the roof was also completely reconstructed in the 1920s, replacing the original iron structure with steel but striving to retain the original look.
