How it works
Door to door, one fixed price.
Your driver waits on the concourse at Paddington with a name board and a hand for your luggage, then takes you directly to The City. That means Departures Road, the covered ramp alongside platform 1.
Knows the run
A chauffeur who drives the The City road and reads its traffic without a satnav.
Fixed on booking
The Paddington–The City fare from £47 is agreed in advance — no meter.
One driver, both ways
Book the return and the same fixed fare brings you back to Paddington when you're done.
Cars & capacity

Local knowledge
Good to know about Paddington to The City.
Licensed, insured, vetted
Every P5 chauffeur is fully licensed private hire, insured and vetted — name, photo and number sent before the day.
Tolls & charges included
Every road toll — and, where the route applies, the London Congestion Charge and ULEZ — is inside your price.
The rail alternative
The tube here is Paddington — the Bakerloo, Circle and District lines, the Elizabeth line and the Heathrow Express all interchange here. Handy travelling light; with luggage bound for The City, the door-to-door car earns its place.
The run itself
The The City road runs about 15–25 min from Paddington. Your driver reads the live traffic and, with the train tracked, times the pickup to your real arrival.
Paddington to The City: what to expect
This is a journey decided before you arrive: whether the driver watched the train, whether the price moved, and whether anyone is standing on the concourse at Paddington when you come off. On the The City run we settle all three in advance — the train tracked, the fare from £47 fixed, and a named chauffeur waiting with a board.
Departures Road, the covered ramp alongside platform 1. Reckon on 15–25 min for the drive, with 15 minutes of complimentary waiting so a slow arrival never costs you the car. Every toll, and the London charges where they apply, sits inside the fare — nothing to settle at the kerb.
