Suggestions for Platform near Paddington, London

Anthony S. • October 8, 2012Best coffee in the station is Delice De France by platform 6. The service is slow but I'm willing to overlook the fact since they're the only reason I make it through Monday's.

Katharine R. • April 2, 2016Located on Platform 1 at the mo. Go share a Marmalade sarnie with this lovely bear from Darkest Peru.

Richard L. • July 4, 2011This platform is further away than you think

Plwm B. • April 30, 2016Probably by second favourite platform at Paddington

Henrik O. • June 20, 2011Sometimes you can piggyback on the Heathrow Express wifi while your train is at the platform.

eric w. • July 5, 2010... if you're looking for a drama free route to board / alight trains placed midway between platforms 2 & 4 then i'd heartily recommend platform 3...

Bhavuk • April 5, 2013If you are coming by tube, consider at least 10-15 mins transfer time to this platform. It's tucked away in the rear corner of the station!

Andy H. • July 22, 2011No barriers on Platform 8 and it's the main walking route to the H&C/Circle line platforms.

Tom R. • July 30, 2010Always turn right along the platform on the circle line.

Movie Mayor • August 12, 2010Located between platforms 9 & 10 is the magical platform 9 3/4, reached only by those travelling to the Hogwarts Academy, such as Harry and his friends in 2001's "Harry Potter & the Sorcerer's Stone."

Sam A. • August 24, 2011The 18:45 to Swansea usually departs from this platform.

William B. • June 7, 2012Please don't stop at the top of the stairs, with 3 suitcases waiting for your friends --- you will block the only way off the platform!

Emma S. • December 19, 2012The heathrow express leaves paddington every 15 minutes from platforms 6 & 7 free wifi on board!

Toby P. • January 29, 2013Cornwall & Devon Sleeper arrivers, get to the toilets and showers before 7am to ensure you get a towel. And the attendant normally goes off about then. Then don't forget breakfast in 1st class lounge.

Mike K. • April 6, 20121st Class wheelchair seat has no table or plug access. Small ledge for drinks only

Harry Hanawi • July 27, 2019Best chinese around paddington

Johannes D. • February 4, 2015It's a bit of a trek to the main station. Follow the lines on the floor and allow five minutes extra!

FR BBS • July 20, 2011Run if necessary.

Mo R. • December 3, 2013Slow train to Slough. This one takes about 40 mins to get there. Don't sit in the carriage that has a toilet... It stinks!

Marco E. • September 5, 2012Return ticket is £ 34 in couch class (which is very nice anyway - you won't use anything of the first class in so little time...). Trip lasts only 15 minutes to Terminal 1 and 3 (LH rules).

Adam J. • August 7, 2014It's a good platform. It's not as nice as platform 3, but it's a good platform nonetheless!

Naoki F. • November 8, 2017The shop is actually located inside of King's Cross station. You can take a single picture at the 9 3/4 platform for 9 pounds. Lots of Harry Potter stuffs and novels are sold in the shop.

Patrick S. • September 13, 2011Check what line you're on before entering the station!

sinister p. • December 30, 2011Puffins are becoming fashion victims, some seen wearing 1970s platform shoes.

Lewis C. • January 17, 2015This mostly involves trains.

Benjamin S. • May 1, 2012Some of the photos are not Platform 3. Just be careful - don't mix your platforms.
