Eurostar - London to Paris

The most popular inter-country train service is the Eurostar. Departing from the newly refurbished St Pancras International Station at King's Cross in London, and travelling to Gare du Nord in Paris, the Eurostar acts as the UK's route into Europe. Taking just two hours and fifteen minutes from London to Paris, it is a fast option that can be taken without your feet leaving the ground. The Eurostar is also one of the cheapest ways to get across the channel, and offers a relatively luxurious alternative to flight. It is also one of the most regular services, operating up to 21 services a day from London to Paris, as early as half past five in the morning, and as late as eight o'clock in the evening.

There are three fare levels on the Eurostar; Business Premier, Leisure Select and Standard Class. Depending on how flexible you want to be on rescheduling timings, and the time of day you travel, you may be able to get your fare to as low as £59 return (for an adult travelling between London and Paris). The lowest adult Leisure Select return fare is £119 (for a weekend day return). Business Premier tickets start at £339 return.

There are some good deals to be had when combining travel with hotels. A good selection of deals can be found on this website in our Holiday Offers section. Alternatively, Eurostar's own website often has good value deals.

If you haven't taken a trip on Eurostar yet, we highly recommend it. For practicality, time saved and good value.
