The Chilworth London Paddington Chauffeur Service

The Chilworth London Paddington at 10–15 Talbot Square occupies a row of four converted Victorian townhouses on a quiet garden square a short walk from Paddington Station. The hotel draws a consistent mix of business travellers using Paddington as a hub for rail connections to the west of England and Wales, leisure guests arriving on the Elizabeth line from Heathrow, and international visitors who have booked a Paddington address because of its reputation as a well-connected, value-efficient base in central London.

Talbot Square is a small private garden square off Praed Street — calm and residential, directly behind the bustle of Paddington Station without any of its noise. Heathrow is 14 miles west via the A40 or the A4/M4; the transfer takes under 40 minutes in off-peak traffic. For guests who prefer a direct car over the Heathrow Express, the door-to-door journey time is comparable once you factor in the walk to the platform and the terminal transit at Paddington. Hyde Park's north entrance is eight minutes on foot or two minutes by car. Imperial Ride handles all airport connections, Paddington station drop-offs, and West End evening transfers from this address.

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Where does my chauffeur wait at The Chilworth London Paddington?

Your driver positions on Talbot Square directly outside the hotel at 10–15 Talbot Square, W2 1TS. Talbot Square is a quiet, garden-fronted residential square off Praed Street — your driver can hold at the kerbside without time pressure from commercial or through traffic. We position ten minutes before your confirmed time and text when in place.

Is a chauffeur faster than the Heathrow Express from Paddington for getting to Heathrow?

For a single traveller with a carry-on bag, the Heathrow Express is slightly faster in pure transit time. For anyone with checked luggage, a group, or mobility considerations, a chauffeur is faster door-to-door. The Heathrow Express departs from the main Paddington concourse (a 5-minute walk from Talbot Square), takes 15 minutes to Heathrow Central, then requires the inter-terminal transit to reach T5 or T3. A chauffeur delivers you directly to your terminal's drop-off. From Talbot Square to T5, the car journey is 35–40 minutes in off-peak traffic — comparable to the rail option including the walk and transit time.

Can you drop me at a specific Paddington Station platform entrance?

Yes. Paddington Station has multiple vehicle drop-off points — the main taxi rank on Praed Street, the Elizabeth line entrance on Eastbourne Terrace, and the side access via London Street. Your driver will ask at booking which service you are taking and position at the most convenient entrance for your platform. For Elizabeth line departures, the Eastbourne Terrace drop-off avoids the main station concourse entirely. For Great Western mainline (Cardiff, Bristol, Reading), the Praed Street entrance is closest to the platforms.
