Paddington, with the Heathrow Express and the Elizabeth line, is a short walk or one Circle line stop from most of Bayswater. It is a good choice for one traveller. For a family with cases, the walk and the ticket price per person add up.
By car the driver heads along the Bayswater Road to Notting Hill, down Holland Park Avenue and out on the A4 and M4.
By public transport: Walk or Circle line to Paddington, then the Heathrow Express or Elizabeth line, about 35–50 min. The catch is the walk to Paddington with cases and a per-person Heathrow Express fare. A car does the whole trip door to door in about 35 min, or 65 min when the roads are full, with your bags in the boot.
