Eurostar Trains
Eurostar was first launched in 1994 and is the first and only high-speed train to travel from London to mainland Europe. The service runs to Paris, Lille, Brussels and Amsterdam. Running through Channel Tunnel (or the 'Chunnel' as it is known) from King’s Cross St. Pancras in London.
The Eurostar has opened up train travel in Europe to UK passengers. it is now possible to travel to over 100 European cities by train. With a quick transfer required in Paris, Lille or Brussels. You can now reach Europe's biggest cities, such as Berlin or even Rome, by train.
Eurostar’s London to Amsterdam connection now offers direct journeys. Departing St. Pancras International in London and arriving in Amsterdam Centraal, the duration of your direct train will be around four hours. As not all London to Amsterdam connections are direct, it is possible you’ll have a stopover at Brussels-Midi/Zuid.
Having a stopover in Brussels can add at least another hour to your journey, so keep this in mind when planning your trip. When searching for your train to Amsterdam, Omio will always display the number of changes required for each particular route. If you can, choose the direct connection for a faster and more relaxed trip.

Ask the Expert about traveling on the Eurostar
"When I travel on the Eurostar, I always take a good read, my headphones for any digital entertainment (and to block out any chatty passengers), a bottle of water and a snack in a tote bag that I can tuck under the seat in front. By the time you’ve settled in, flicked through a magazine and munched on some crisps, you’ll be in France!"
"I must give a shout out to the wonderful staff, who remain unflustered despite the thousands of passengers they deal with every day. On my last trip, even though I’ve traveled via Eurostar plenty of times, this so-called ‘professional’ traveler managed to leave her backpack at security. I only noticed as I sat down in my seat, 10 minutes before departure… yet, the helpful platform guard stayed calm (much calmer than me) and got the bag sent up without a fuss. Another happy customer!"
