Good to Know When Travelling from Paddington
- No Congestion Charge in W2: the charging zone's western edge is Edgware Road, and Paddington, Bayswater and the rest of W2 lie west of it, so nothing is added for a pickup here. If you're collected east of Edgware Road in Marylebone, the £18 charge applies and is included in our price.
- St Mary's Hospital: for pickups after an appointment or a discharge, give us the wing or entrance when you book and we'll meet you there.
- Arriving by train for a flight: if you're coming into Paddington with heavy luggage, we can meet you at the station and take you door to terminal. Tell us your train and we'll agree a meeting point.
