Premier Inn Heathrow to Central London: The Paddington Connection

• Elizabeth Line (Crossrail): 25–30 min to Paddington from Terminals 2&3/4/5. Cheaper than Express. Same hotel access.
• Piccadilly Line (Underground): 45–55 min to central London (not Paddington directly; change at Hammersmith or Green Park for Circle/H&C to Paddington). Cheapest.

• Hotel Shuttle + Bus/Coach: National Express/Green Line to Victoria (not Paddington). 45–70 min.

Why Paddington?

Paddington is the gateway to West England, Wales, the Cotswolds (via Oxford/Moreton-in-Marsh), and the Elizabeth Line to Canary Wharf/Liverpool Street. It’s also the Heathrow Express/Elizabeth Line terminus—making it the logical “central station” for Heathrow-based travelers.

Tip

If your train departs from Euston, King’s Cross, or St Pancras, the Elizabeth Line from Heathrow to Farringdon (1 stop past Paddington) or Tottenham Court Road is often faster than going to Paddington and circling back on the Circle/H&C lines.
