I need to get to Paddington station on Monday with baby and luggage - does anyone know how accessible Paddington Underground station is, I'm ok if it is just escalators, no steps? Also would Waterloo be the best place to change, is the interchange from Jubilee line to Bakerloo line step free (starting my journey at Forest Hill, on to Jubilee line)?


Also considering getting a cab up, could call a black cab but does anyone know any minicab companies that have child car seats (size 0)?

it's a right pain to get there is all i have to say! from where i am, near Peckham High Street, you can get the 436 bus all the way there. But not sure how you'd link up from Forest Hill (171??). As I recall, there are steps from Jubilee to Bakerloo at Waterloo (in the final furlough). Try the TFL journey planner with the steps free option and also look at any advisories on lifts out of commission because often the reality is different if works are going on.

I go to Paddington once a week and find the journey pretty quick and easy.

There are two options - train to London Bridge, then Jubilee to Baker Street, across platform to Bakerloo. Then just one escalator up to the station.

Or train to Victoria and on to Circle Line - there are no steps at Paddington, but there are a few to go down at Victoria. People are always very quick to offer to help me with the buggy though.


Journey takes about 45 minutes usually.

    • One gentleman who kept the boards up to date with community notices i.e. local residents' association events, East Dulwich Community Centre, sadly died a few years ago. He never had the keys to the NX Rd board as this was outside his ward (now known as Dulwich Hill). The council changed the locks on the boards and we do not know who was given the keys. The gentleman's widow carries on with posting community notices but only on the odd couple of boards whose locks have been broken and she can lift the cover. If I remember correctly, it was the Lib. Dem councillors in ED that initiated the boards.
    • Thanks, that’s very sensible advice  and I’ll most likely follow it. I shouldn’t need anything from them, and if anything, they may end up needing me as they’re likely to go first. Really appreciate your support.
    • Hi Jason - we had very difficult neighbours at some stage. Differently so from yours - aggressive, drinking fairly heavily etc… I tried to accommodate their many demands (and their huge dog who howled all day and used our garden as his toilet) until one day, I just started ghosting them. Cut off contact entirely, blocked their mobile phone number, ignored them when they tried to speak to me. I point blank refused to deal with them, including when they needed my signature to extend the lease to secure their new mortgage, which really panicked them. This proved highly effective and they moved soon after (after I made them sweat to sign the freehold docs they needed) I don’t know if you want to do the same if there is a personality disorder involved. But if you do, make sure all your paperwork is in order and there’s absolutely nothing you need from them.  I’m so sorry you’re going through this. It’s really unpleasant.
