The quiet garden square location makes it hard to believe that the bustle of Paddington station and Paddington basin – central London’s prime development area – are so close. The Heathrow Express is just 15 minutes journey from London Heathrow and you can check your bags in at the station.
A leisurely stroll will take you to the Italian Gardens in Hyde Park and on to Marble Arch and Oxford Street or down to the Serpentine. It is clear why this is widely considered as central London’s most convenient location.
