Luggage storage at and around Paddington Station

Passing through Paddington with a bag often means arriving too early for a hotel or facing a long wait between trains, especially if you're heading to Heathrow or the South West. The station itself has a left-luggage office on platform 12, so that's worth knowing about before you start searching the surrounding streets.

But not every landmark is as helpful — Marble Arch, which people often pass by on trips around Hyde Park and Oxford Street, has no cloakroom or luggage storage at all, so don't plan to drop a bag there.

Trains, platforms and getting around with luggage

Paddington gives you step-free access to every platform, though some routes involve long or steep ramps, so wheeled bags may still take a bit of effort. If you're flying, the Heathrow Express and the Elizabeth line both run directly from here to the airport, which means you can keep your bag with you until it's time to check in. The Underground station below serves the Bakerloo, Circle, District, and Hammersmith & City lines, giving you four lines to choose from when heading elsewhere in London. Great Western Railway also terminates here, so passengers heading to South West England or South Wales often start or end their journey at Paddington.

What's near Paddington: parks and neighbourhoods

Hyde Park is only a ten-minute walk from the station, and its pedestrian gates stay open from 5 am until midnight, so an early-morning or late-evening stroll is easy — and entry costs nothing.

Marylebone is known for its delis and restaurants around Marylebone High Street, which makes it a good place to wander if you've got time to kill before a train. It is served by two London Underground stations in Zone 1: Bayswater station (Circle and District lines) and Queensway station (Central line).

Merchant Square is directly adjacent to Paddington and accessible by footbridge from the station, so it's an easy place to reach on foot.
