Folks

I am usually better organised, but I've found myself in a bit of a pickle this Friday with an appointment that means I need to get from Liverpool St at around 4pm to LHR T3 for a flight at 7pm.

While usually I leave plenty of time, enough to go home and pick up my stuff and get changed, this time it's straight to the airport. I'll be small rollaboard HBO, and was thinking along the lines of tube to Paddington and then HEx as the quickest option, However, I am not a regular at Paddington, except to know that the not all tube connections to Paddington are equal.

I am thinking along the lines of Central line direct to Lancaster Gate plus a short walk, or Hammersmith & City or Circle. For some reason the TFL website is telling me to take the Central line to Oxford Circle then onto the Bakerloo to Paddington which seems like a bit of a faff, but doable even though I'm not familiar with changing Central -> Bakerloo at Oxford Circus.

Any recommendations from City based people, particularly around tube connections at Paddington?
