The Eurostar

Eurostar is a high-speed train service connecting London with major cities in mainland Europe, such as Paris, Brussels, and Amsterdam. Traveling through the Channel Tunnel—an underground tunnel beneath the English Channel—it allows passengers to move between the UK and continental Europe quickly and comfortably. The journey typically takes around 2 to 3 hours, offering a convenient and efficient alternative to flying or ferry travel. Eurostar trains are modern, spacious, and equipped with amenities, making international trips smoother and more environmentally friendly than car or air travel over similar distances.
