Two councils
W2 is split between Westminster and Kensington and Chelsea. Each council runs its own licensing, so check which covers your address.

Paddington has the Elizabeth line, the Bakerloo, Circle, District and Hammersmith & City lines, Great Western trains and the Heathrow Express. Lancaster Gate, by Hyde Park, is on the Central line.
Stucco and squares
Between Paddington station and Hyde Park, the 19th-century Tyburnia estate was laid out with garden squares and cream stucco terraces.
Canal basin and St Mary's
Paddington Basin and Merchant Square, where the Grand Union Canal ends, have been rebuilt with offices and homes. St Mary's Hospital is on Praed Street.

Across London, the agents we checked publish full-management fees of 12% to 20.4% of the rent including VAT. We don't have a separate figure for W2, so your comparison shows the published fees of the agents that cover your address.
Do I need a licence to let in Paddington?
It depends on the property and which council covers it. W2 is split between Westminster and Kensington and Chelsea. Larger HMOs need a licence everywhere in England, and each council can add its own schemes. Check your council's rules for your exact address.
