Ealing to London Heathrow

Getting from Ealing to Paddington

The first stage of your journey is to travel from Ealing to London Paddington. You have a few different options to consider.


The first is to take the tube from Ealing Broadway. Simply hop on the Central Line at Ealing Broadway to Notting Hill Gate and change here for the District Line or Central Line for just two stops to Paddington.


If you’re pushed for time and decide to take a taxi, the journey should take you around 30 minutes depending on the traffic. If you’re hoping to take the bus, jump on the N7 from Ealing Broadway to Bishops Bridge Road, and it’s a six-minute walk to Paddington – the full journey should take around 40 minutes.


You can buy both your Heathrow Express tickets and London Underground tickets online with us, so there’s no need to queue up at Ealing Broadway for a tube ticket. Just hop on the tube.

Locating the Heathrow Express when you arrive in Paddington

Our Heathrow Express trains usually depart Paddington from either platform six or platform seven.

If you arrive into Paddington on the tube, make your way up to the main station concourse. When you arrive in a taxi or after taking the bus, simply stroll into the main station.

From here, head through the ticket barriers with your Heathrow Express ticket in hand. Just remember to check the boards at the station in case we’re running from a different platform on the day.
