A taxi from Edgware to Paddington station is one of the easier trips into central London. The A5 Edgware Road starts in Edgware and runs south through Burnt Oak, Colindale, Kilburn and Maida Vale, ending close to Paddington. We connect you with licensed local minicab and taxi companies who quote a fixed price before you book, so you know the fare before you leave home.

Drop-off and pick-up at Paddington
Paddington is a busy station with limited space for cars to stop. The driver will drop you as close to the entrance as is allowed. For pick-ups, your confirmation will tell you where to meet. Station layouts and access roads change during building works, so check the Network Rail website if you are unsure.
Coming home from Paddington
A pre-booked cab back to Edgware after a long train journey saves waiting in the taxi queue. Give us your train time and the station you are coming from. If your train is late, call the number on your confirmation so the pick-up can be moved.
