Getting Here

We are on Sheldon Square, in the middle of the Paddington Central estate, on the terrace level above the Grand Union Canal. The easiest approach on foot is along the canal towpath, which brings you in past the water.

By train and tube

Paddington Station is a short walk. That gives you the Elizabeth line, Bakerloo, Circle, District and Hammersmith & City lines, Great Western Railway services to the west, and the Heathrow Express. Warwick Avenue is around thirteen minutes on foot through Little Venice, Edgware Road about eleven, Royal Oak about ten and Lancaster Gate about fifteen.

By bus

Routes along Bishop's Bridge Road and Harrow Road stop within a few minutes' walk.

By car

There is no parking on site. The nearest public car parks are around Paddington Basin and Bishop's Bridge Road. We sit just outside the London Congestion Charge zone boundary.

By bike

There are Forest, Lime, Santander Cycles docking stations around Paddington Central and Merchant Square.

What's Nearby

Paddington Basin and Merchant Square are five minutes' walk, which makes us one of the closest proper restaurants to the Paddington Basin offices. Little Venice and the Browning's Pool end of the canal are about nine minutes along the towpath. Sheldon Square itself is the square we sit on, on the terrace level above the water.

Hyde Park is roughly thirteen minutes south, Bayswater and Queensway about fifteen, and Marylebone and Marble Arch are a comfortable twenty-minute walk or a short hop on the tube.

If you work in one of the Paddington Central or Merchant Square offices, we are the building next door. There is a set lunch menu Monday to Friday for exactly that reason.

We reply to enquiries within one working day. For same-day bookings, please call 020 7286 9458 rather than using the form. For events, use the private dining enquiry form.
