What to expect
Door to door, one fixed price.
Travelling to The Stafford, your driver meets you on the concourse at Paddington Station with a name board, your train tracked. Leaving the hotel, the car waits at the door: st James’s Place is a cul-de-sac many drivers miss; ours don’t. The car waits at the courtyard entrance, two minutes’ quiet from Piccadilly.
Every charge included
Tolls — plus the Congestion Charge and ULEZ where the route applies — sit inside the quoted fare.
Luggage handled
Between the The Stafford lobby and the concourse, the cases are the driver’s job, not yours.
Train tracked
Inbound legs are tracked live; the pickup shifts to your real arrival at no extra cost.
The fleet
The Stafford to Paddington Station from £47.
Six classes, one standard of care. Saloon, one way, off-peak. Rush hour, nights (10pm–6am) and bank holidays cost more; the return leg is 5% off when booked together — your quote shows the exact price before you book. Once you book, the price never changes.

Travel notes
Good to know about The Stafford to Paddington Station.
The rail alternative
The nearest station to The Stafford is Green Park and Piccadilly Circus — useful travelling light, less so with a full case load bound for Paddington Station.
Licensed, insured, vetted
Every P5 chauffeur holds a full private-hire licence, is insured for you as a passenger, and is DBS-checked.
At the hotel end
St James’s Place is a cul-de-sac many drivers miss; ours don’t. The car waits at the courtyard entrance, two minutes’ quiet from Piccadilly.
Local knowledge
The walk to Green Park tube looks short on the map but cobbles and cases disagree — the fixed fare to Paddington for the Heathrow Express is the painless alternative, though door-to-door is usually quicker still.
