I’m going to see the England game on 10 September and am getting confused about the quickest way to get to Paddington.

Having seen the Taylor Swift queues I’m keen to avoid the massive queues they hold you in, so willing to leave the match slightly early and willing to walk further to other tubes/over grounds.

We need to be at Paddington within the hour so I need to avoid being held on Wembley way for an hour! Can anyone please give me any local advice? My son and I are very fit and can run a mile in about 7/8 minutes if needed 😆

Less than an hour is pretty ambitious, it might be easy but if it's a drop dead deadline you'd need to err on the side of caution. It takes a few minutes to exit the stadium even, and then Wembley is quite a long way out of central London. I'd still go via Wembley Park but I'd focus on the leaving early bit.
I made it from Taylor Swift to Paddington in about 65 mins without leaving early tbh- it was very well organised- but it could easily have been longer so I wouldn't depend on it.

Thanks very much, Il plan for a later train in that case!

Yes, sounds sensible. It's quite hard to predict. Depends a bit where you're sat in the stadium- if you're at the top round the other side from the tube then you'll be last out and at the back of the queue. I'd definitely allow a bit more time even if hopefully you won't need it.
Hope you enjoy the game!

There's also a Chiltern Line station at Wembley Stadium - 12 mins to Marylebone and you can then jump on the tube to Paddington. You have to check the timetable though.
