How do I get something collected in Paddington today?
Book one of our vans. A driver generally arrives at your W2 address within the hour and delivers it directly, without passing through a depot. The West End is around 15 minutes away off-peak, the City roughly 30 and Heathrow 35 to 45 by road. We fix the price before collection.
When the Train Is Not an Option
Paddington is the obvious place to start a journey to Heathrow. Heathrow Express says its trains leave every 15 minutes and reach the airport in 15 minutes. That is ideal for a traveller with a suitcase. It is no use for a crate of exhibition stock, a spare part that has to reach a cargo shed, or a passport left on a desk after its owner has already gone through security.
That is where a courier in Paddington comes in. A van picks the item up at your door and drives it to the terminal forecourt, a forwarder’s warehouse or the airline’s cargo reception, with one driver keeping hold of it the whole way. By road it takes longer than the train, but nothing has to be carried through a station or handed to a stranger. See our airport courier page for how terminal and cargo handovers work.
From W2 to Where It Needs to Be
Paddington sits just west of Edgware Road, outside the congestion charge zone. Heading east usually means entering it; heading west it is straight onto the Westway.
| Destination | Route | Typical drive | Congestion zone? |
|---|---|---|---|
| Heathrow | A40 and A406, or A4 and M4 | 35 to 45 minutes | No |
| Mayfair | Edgware Road and Park Lane | 15 minutes | Yes, included |
| City of London | Marylebone and Euston Roads | 30 minutes | Yes, included |
| Notting Hill | Westbourne Grove | 10 minutes | No |
| Hammersmith | Westway | 20 minutes | No |
| Oxford | A40 and M40 | About 1 hour 15 | No |
Off-peak times from Paddington once loaded. Where a route passes through the charging zone, the charge sits inside your fixed price. Our vans are ULEZ compliant.

Call with both addresses. A controller will quote and dispatch the nearest driver.
Loading in a Crowded Corner of London
Paddington is busy at street level. Praed Street and Eastbourne Terrace carry taxis, buses and station traffic, and many side streets have tight loading rules. We ask for the best entrance when you book, whether that is a loading bay behind a tower at the Basin, a hospital goods-in or a hotel side door. It saves minutes that matter on a tight deadline.
Paddington Courier FAQs
Someone left their passport in a Paddington office and is at Heathrow. Can you help?
Yes. We collect it straight away and drive to the terminal, then hand it to the traveller at an agreed meeting point. Allow roughly 35 to 45 minutes after collection, depending on traffic.
Can you deliver to an airline cargo reception rather than a terminal?
Yes. Give us the cargo shed, the airway bill number and the latest drop time. The driver takes the goods directly there.
Does a job from Paddington to the City include the congestion charge?
If the route crosses the zone during charging hours, yes. It is part of the fixed price, not an extra.
Can you collect from a hotel in W2 late at night?
Yes, we work around the clock. A late or weekend booking is priced slightly above a weekday daytime run, and the quote you accept already covers it.
Which nearby areas do you cover from Paddington?
All of W2 including Bayswater, Lancaster Gate, Little Venice and Maida Vale, and on to Marylebone and Notting Hill.
