Parking at Paddington Bear on Eastbourne Terrace
Paddington Bear is at 19 Eastbourne Terrace, Paddington, City of Westminster, W2 6LG, near Lancaster Gate. The nearest recommended facility is the APCOA car park at London Paddington Station, where payment is made by scanning the QR code shown on the car-park signage (APCOA). This makes the station facility the most direct named choice for drivers heading towards the site.
The Paddington Bear Experience’s own directions recommend Waterloo Station as a nearby car park (paddingtonbearexperience.com). These facilities are away from the attraction’s Eastbourne Terrace address, so the final approach is better planned around the onward journey rather than treated as door-to-door parking.

Busy Times and Street Parking in Paddington
Paddington becomes more pressured around station activity and visits to the experience, particularly when families are travelling together. The attraction’s directions recommend planning the journey ahead to ensure a smooth arrival (paddingtonbearexperience.com), so allowing time for the approach is sensible when an entry time matters.
Chargeable street parking in Paddington operates Monday to Saturday, with parking outside the free period charged at £2.90 an hour or 48p for 10 minutes (indigopaddington.com). The chargeable days and rates make surrounding streets less suitable for an unplanned long stay, especially for visitors who need to leave a car while spending several hours at the site.
Waterloo Station and Q-Park Westminster Options
Waterloo Station is specifically recommended as a nearby car park in the Paddington Bear Experience’s getting-here information (paddingtonbearexperience.com). Both are alternatives to the APCOA facility at London Paddington Station and give drivers named destinations to enter into a route planner.
The venue’s travel guidance focuses on reaching the experience rather than providing a car park at 19 Eastbourne Terrace (paddingtonbearexperience.com). Drivers using either named facility should therefore allow for the onward connection to Paddington, near Lancaster Gate, instead of expecting to finish the journey beside the address.
Paddington and Lancaster Gate Stations on Foot
Paddington station is the closest rail access, at 225 yd from Paddington Bear and a three-minute walk. The short connection makes rail a practical alternative when a central London drive would involve a longer search for a space, particularly for visitors arriving from outside Paddington.
Lancaster Gate tube station is approximately a seven-minute walk away. The attraction is in Paddington, near Lancaster Gate, with the address on Eastbourne Terrace providing the final destination for either station approach. Paddington station is also associated with the Paddington Bear statue on Platform 1 in visitor guidance from Visit London (visitlondon.com).
