How long to walk from Charing Cross to Paddington?
London Paddington network rail station covers a large area and the 14 platforms are not all in a straight array. The two platforms served by Heathrow express for example, are on the far side of the station, away from the mainline terminal, yet converge into the same junctions for onward travel. London Underground has two stations called Paddington - one served by the Bakerloo line and the other by the Hammersmith & City line. The latter platforms run alongside the Heathrow Express served platforms and the Bakerloo line (Praed Street entrance) serves the mainline terminal. The longest route would be interchanging between the two London Underground stations and in order to navigate the ticket barriers, stairs and passageways between the two, a healthy young male should be able to traverse this distance unimpeded in about 7 minutes, though extra time should be added for peak time traffic or if any diversions are involved, or carrying luggage.
