I took advantage several times of the baggage check in at paddington for the heathrow express.

Although I still had to lug my luggage across London from liverpool street, I always appeciated being able to drop it off here and not haul it any further. And then the quicker passing through departures, not having to queue for check-in etc.

Very nice it was.
