Location: London St Pancras International to Brussels Midi
A ticket to Brussels also allows you free travel via the train service to other destinations in Belgium. Fast and efficient. A change of platforms and you're off again!
Farewell to low cost airline terminals at airports located miles out of London. Hello Eurostar!
High Speed 1 rail services from St Pancras International provided us with nice and comfy seats direct to Brussels Midi within two hours. People were thinking when they designed this service.
Firstly, the station is accessible on the standard tu
be network. No need for special tickets on some capitalist train service aka Stansted/Gatwick Express! More importantly, immigration checks are performed as you pass through the gates in London so when you reach your destination you are right in the heart of the city. No more queues! All you need to do is grab your luggage (which travels with you in the carriage) and go!

This allowed us to also visit the cosmopolitan Antwerp for a touch of shopping during the afternoon of our arrival and an extended stay in the Venice of the North - Bruges. Feasting upon seafood, frites, waffles and Belgium's famous chocolates followed by some tasty beer, a trip on the Eurostar is a nice and easy getaway that begins right in the heart of London.
