What is the quickest way from Paddington to 146 Harley Street?

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.

Which route from Paddington should I take?

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.

Journey times are typical door-to-door estimates and exclude waiting time between services.

How does the Bakerloo line route work, step by step?

1. Find the Bakerloo platform

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.

2. Four stops to Regent’s Park

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.

3. Walk to 146 Harley Street

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.

Is the Elizabeth line or a walk a better option?

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.

What about arriving by car or taxi from Paddington?

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.

Finding the rank

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.

Driving in from the west

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.

Parking nearby

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.

Can I travel in from the West and be seen the same day?

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.

Paddington to Harley Street: common questions

How far is Harley Street from Paddington station?
A little over a mile east. On the Bakerloo line it is four stops to Regent’s Park and then a four to six minute walk, about fifteen minutes door to door with no change of line.
Is there a direct tube from Paddington to Harley Street?
There is no station called Harley Street, but the Bakerloo line runs directly from Paddington to Regent’s Park, the closest station to the clinic. No change is needed and the journey takes about seven minutes.
I am arriving on the Heathrow Express. What should I do next?
Follow signs from the Heathrow Express platforms to the Underground and take the Bakerloo line southbound to Regent’s Park, four stops. Allow about twenty minutes from stepping off the Heathrow Express to arriving at the clinic.
Can I walk from Paddington to Harley Street?
Yes, in twenty-five to thirty minutes. Going via Chapel Street and Dorset Square rather than along Marylebone Road adds a few minutes but is a far quieter route.
Is the Bakerloo route step-free?
Paddington has lifts to the Bakerloo line, but Regent’s Park should not be assumed to be step-free from platform to street. If step-free travel matters, check the current step-free tube guide or take a taxi for the final mile — it is a short fare.
