Paddington Station taxi from KT9
Paddington is the London terminus of the Great Western Main Line, with GWR trains to Reading, Oxford, Bath, Bristol, Cardiff, Exeter and Penzance. It is also a major Elizabeth line station and the home of the Heathrow Express. From Chessington there is no simple rail link; it means Waterloo and the Bakerloo line, or a longer route with changes.
By car it is about 15 miles. The driver usually takes the A3 to Wandsworth, crosses the river and heads north through Earl's Court and Kensington to the station. A typical drive is 50 to 70 minutes.
Drive-in taxis at Paddington
Our drive-in taxi service gets you as close to the station entrance as the current road layout allows. Paddington has seen major changes with the Elizabeth line works, and our drivers know where cars can stop. The driver helps with bags at each end, and for arrivals can meet you at an agreed point.
Comfortable rides in a Paddington Station cab at a cheap price
A cheap Paddington cab should still be comfortable. Fares are fixed when you book, with no meter running in traffic on the A3. A saloon is ideal for one to four passengers. If you are travelling as a family to the West Country with holiday luggage, a Minibus Taxi takes everyone and the cases.
Cabs in Paddington for corporate accounts
Firms with offices in Reading, Swindon, Bristol or Cardiff often send staff from Paddington. A corporate account for Paddington cabs lets approved staff book cars as needed, with all journeys billed together. We also collect visiting clients from Paddington and bring them to Chessington, Kingston or Surbiton.
Booking a ride for Paddington with the best quote
Use the booking form for an instant fixed quote. For pickups, add the train time and where it is travelling from. If you are using Paddington for the Heathrow Express, it is worth comparing with a direct Heathrow transfer from Chessington, which avoids crossing London twice.
Around Paddington
Paddington sits next to the Paddington Basin, with offices, restaurants and canal-side walks, and is a short distance from Hyde Park and Notting Hill. St Mary's Hospital is right beside the station, and we often take patients and visitors there from Chessington.
Great Western trains to the West Country are long, and many passengers travel with holiday luggage. A car to the station means no lifting cases on and off trains and Tube escalators before your journey even begins.
Paddington or Heathrow?
Some Chessington customers book a car to Paddington to catch the Heathrow Express, not realising that Heathrow is closer to KT9 than Paddington is. Unless you have a reason to go into central London first, a direct car to the airport is quicker and avoids carrying bags through two stations. If you do need Paddington first, perhaps for a meeting, we can collect you there later and take you on to Heathrow.
