Walk to your dentist from Paddington Station in 5 minutes

Arriving at Paddington Station and need a private dentist nearby? Paddington Smiles is on Norfolk Place — a straight 5-minute walk from the Praed Street exit, opposite St Mary’s Hospital. Same-day appointments, online booking, and a multi-lingual team make us a practical option for commuters, business travellers, tourists, and people living or working in W2.

Norfolk Place, W2

Private dental care five minutes from Paddington Station

Paddington Smiles is at 3-4 Norfolk Place, London W2 1QN — a short, level walk from one of London’s largest interchange stations. From the main Praed Street exit, head west along Praed Street past the Mercure Hotel, cross Norfolk Place opposite St Mary’s Hospital, and you are at the front door. The route takes most people about five minutes on foot. For more on the wider area, see our wider Paddington W2 area page.

Paddington Station brings together the Bakerloo, Circle, District, and Hammersmith & City Underground lines, plus the Elizabeth line (TfL rail), Heathrow Express, GWR mainline trains from Reading, Bristol, the West of England and South Wales, and a wide range of London bus routes. The Elizabeth line connects directly to Heathrow Terminals 2 & 3 in around 28 minutes. Step-free access is available on the Bakerloo, Elizabeth line and main concourse routes — check the TfL accessibility map for the specific exit you intend to use.

For visitors with limited time in London, that proximity matters. You can book a hygienist appointment between two trains, collect a take-home whitening kit, arrange emergency relief for toothache, or start a longer treatment plan — clear aligners, implants, veneers — and continue your follow-ups on later trips. We are a 100% private practice with transparent pricing and online booking, so there is no phone queue between your platform and your appointment.

Practical answers for visitors and locals

Frequently asked questions

Practical answers to the most common questions from patients arriving by train or Tube at Paddington Station.

How far is Paddington Smiles from Paddington Station?
We are at 3-4 Norfolk Place, London W2 1QN — about a 5-minute walk from the main Praed Street exit of Paddington Station. The route is straightforward: head west along Praed Street past the Mercure Hotel and St Mary's Hospital, then turn left into Norfolk Place. We are on the right at numbers 3-4. The whole walk is on level pavement.
Can I see a dentist before or after my train?
Our hours are Monday to Friday, 09:00 to 18:00, and we are closed on weekends. Many patients use early morning appointments before heading into work or the last late-afternoon slot before catching a train home. You can book online at any time of day — the form releases the next available appointment slots — or call (020) 7402 4024 during opening hours.
Do you accept walk-in patients?
We strongly recommend booking ahead because our diary is usually full, but we will always try to fit in urgent dental emergencies on the same day. If you are in pain or have had an injury, call (020) 7402 4024 first so we can give you triage advice and reserve a slot before you walk over. Booked appointments are the only way to guarantee you will be seen at a specific time.
I am only in London for a day — what can be done in one visit?
Quite a lot, depending on what you need. Hygienist scale and polish, take-home teeth whitening kits, emergency pain relief, simple fillings, smoothing of chipped teeth, and minor adjustments can all usually be completed in a single visit. Treatments that need lab work or staged appointments — dental implants, veneers, smile makeovers, and clear aligners — will need follow-ups, but we can complete your consultation, scans and treatment plan in one visit so your next appointments can be scheduled around your travel.
Do you treat tourists and international visitors?
Yes. We see patients visiting London from across the UK and abroad. Our team speaks English, Polish, and Portuguese. We accept all major UK and international debit and credit cards, and our pricing is transparent — you will see written costs before any treatment begins. If you start a treatment plan during your visit, we can prepare records for your dentist back home, or schedule your follow-up appointments around your next London trip.
Is the practice wheelchair accessible?
No. Our entrance has a step at the front door, and the building does not have a lift, so we are unable to offer fully wheelchair-accessible treatment at this site. If accessibility is essential for your visit, we will happily suggest alternative practices in the area with step-free access. Please call (020) 7402 4024 before booking so we can discuss your needs and avoid a wasted journey.
How much is an emergency appointment?
An emergency appointment starts from £85 and covers a focused examination, any X-rays or scans needed, and a discussion of your treatment options. Any treatment carried out at that appointment — such as a temporary filling, drainage, or pain relief — is priced separately and quoted to you in writing before we proceed. A new patient comprehensive examination is £75. Full pricing is on our fees page.
Do you have parking near the practice?
There is no on-site parking at the practice. Norfolk Place and the surrounding W2 streets are paid metered parking in a Westminster controlled parking zone, and spaces fill up quickly during weekdays. Because you are walking from one of London's largest transport hubs, we strongly recommend arriving by Tube, train, bus, or on foot. If you must drive, NCP and Q-Park car parks operate within a 5- to 10-minute walk of the practice.
