Take the Bakerloo line southbound from Paddington to Regent’s Park. It is four stops and about seven minutes, calling at Edgware Road, Marylebone and Baker Street, then a four to six minute walk down Harley Street. Door to door, allow fifteen minutes with no change of line.
Paddington is the easiest mainline station to reach this clinic from, because the Bakerloo line runs directly to the station nearest our door. If you have arrived on a Great Western service from the West Country or on the Heathrow Express, this is the leg that takes the least thought.
| Route | Typical journey | Changes | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Bakerloo line to Regent’s Park | 15 minutes | None | Almost everyone |
| Elizabeth line one stop to Bond Street, then walk | 20–25 minutes | None | If you are already on the Elizabeth line platform |
| Walk along Marylebone Road | 25–30 minutes | None | Light luggage and time in hand |
| Taxi or private hire | 8–15 minutes | None | Luggage, mobility needs, tight appointment times |
From the mainline concourse or the Heathrow Express platforms, follow signs to the Underground and then to the Bakerloo line, southbound towards Elephant & Castle. It is one of the shorter interchanges at Paddington.
The train calls at Edgware Road, Marylebone, Baker Street and then Regent’s Park. The run takes about seven minutes and no change is needed.
Leave the station onto Marylebone Road, head west, then turn left down Harley Street. The clinic is four to six minutes on foot at the northern end of the street.
The Elizabeth line is quick to Bond Street, one stop and around three minutes, but it leaves you roughly fifteen minutes on foot from the clinic, up Marylebone Lane and Marylebone High Street. It is only worth taking if you happen to be arriving on an Elizabeth line service already and would rather not change platforms at Paddington.
Walking the whole way takes twenty-five to thirty minutes and covers about a mile and a quarter. The pleasant version leaves Paddington through Chapel Street and Dorset Square rather than tracking Marylebone Road the whole way, which trades five minutes for considerably less traffic noise.
Paddington has lifts to the Bakerloo line, but Regent’s Park should not be assumed to be step-free end to end. If you use a wheelchair, are travelling with a pushchair or have a heavy case, check the current step-free tube guide before you set out, or take a taxi for the final mile.
It is a little over a mile east and a cab takes eight to fifteen minutes, which makes this the shortest and cheapest taxi leg of any London terminus. The usual route runs along Praed Street and Marylebone Road, or south through Sussex Gardens if the flyover is busy.
The taxi rank sits on the departures road at the front of the station, signed from the main concourse and from platform 1. Heathrow Express arrivals come out close to it, which is one reason this interchange works well for patients landing at the airport.
If you are coming off the A40 Westway rather than out of the station, leave at the Marylebone Road exit rather than continuing to Marylebone flyover, then turn south into Harley Street. The A40 approach keeps you outside the Congestion Charge zone until the last half-mile.
Q-Park Harley Street at Queen Anne Mews, W1G 9HF is the closest underground option, open 24 hours and about seven minutes on foot, but its 1.82 metre height limit rules out taller vehicles. For anything higher, or for electric charging, use Q-Park Marble Arch at Cumberland Gate, W2 2ET.
Great Western services from Reading, Oxford, Swindon, Bath, Bristol, Cardiff, Exeter and Cornwall all arrive into Paddington, and the final leg to the clinic is fifteen minutes with no change of line. For patients travelling up from the West Country or South Wales, a morning departure comfortably supports an early-afternoon appointment and a return the same evening.
Our what happens at your one-stop appointment page sets out the pathway: consultation, clinical examination, mammogram or ultrasound where indicated, a biopsy if it is needed, and a discussion of the findings in the same visit. Most assessments run sixty to ninety minutes from arrival.
Because Paddington is also the Heathrow Express terminus, this is the route most of our overseas patients use. If you are combining a flight and a train, allow ninety minutes from touchdown to leaving the terminal before you start counting the twenty minutes onward to the clinic.
Worth chasing before you travel rather than after: copies of any previous mammograms, ultrasound reports or pathology. Comparing this year’s images against last year’s often answers a question that would otherwise need a biopsy, and requesting them from a hospital in Bristol or Cardiff takes days rather than hours. If surgery is recommended it takes place at a partner private hospital, and your consultant will confirm which.
Regent’s Park is the station to aim for from Paddington — four stops on the Bakerloo line with no change, then a four to six minute walk to the northern end of Harley Street.
