My hotel is very close to hyde park, have to figure out how to get to paddington from there, will do that this weekend!
Hyde Park is pretty big. But is close to Paddington. (You need to take care is you go by tube. The tube map is not to scale and is not geograpicaly correct. For example:- if Queensway is your nearest Tube the tube map would indicate change at Nottinghill Gate. But you would be better advised to walk an extra couple 200 meters to Bayswater.
It would make much more sense to go from Paddington to Reading is only takes about 30min if you take an express. (don't get a slow train)
Waterloo is the other side of the City and it will take a good 30 mins to get there then the 1hour 30 to get to Wokingham.
