Cool engineering, and great mediterranean feel, with water features and modern landscaped decking. Fan bridge and sister smaller "snail" bridge are opened around midday every Wed, Fri and Sat, worth seeing, loads of places to eat nearby in Praed St, including halal Subway!

Similar to the Rolling Bridge; they should try to make it roll down (or up) at night, for the many restaurants and coffee shops to benefit from increased footfall.

Sobre el canal y a metros de Paddington Station se encuentra un paseo con muchos lugares para tomar y comer algo o simplemente pasear. Destaca un Puente peatonal que en determinados días y horarios se levanta y pliega cual abanico, de ahí el nombre. Fue terminado en el 2014 y da acceso directo al Queen Mary’s hospital.
