Travelling to London with us is simple, smart, and speedy. After a quick change at Brussels-Midi/Zuid, you’ll be there in no time. And whether you’re going for work or play, we’ll get you there feeling relaxed and rested. Read on to discover why taking Eurostar from Cologne to London is the only way to travel.
Departing from Cologne
Departing from Cologne's main station is as easy as it gets. The station is located right in the heart of Cologne, next to its unmissable cathedral and the Rhine river. North Rhine-Westphalia's main travel hub is of course also very well connected by local as well as high-speed trains, metros and buses.
Make sure to arrive at the station at least 15 minutes before your train departure time.
Inside the station you can find plenty of shops to stroll around while waiting for your train. Fancy a snack before departure? Then you're in luck, because the station is bursting with culinary options: from typical German sausages to healthy salads. Guten Appetit.
Connecting from Brussels to London
The journey from Cologne to Brussels takes 1hr 50mins. You'll then change to our Brussels to London train for the remainder of the journey.
Once you get off the Eurostar train in Brussels then find the Eurostar departure area under platforms 1 and 2.
Make sure you arrive at Brussels at our recommended arrival time to allow plenty of time to get through border controls and security.
Arriving at London St Pancras
Eurostar trains arrive right in the heart of London at St Pancras International station, one of the most elegant stations in the world. Built in 1868, it is a masterpiece of Victorian Gothic architecture.
On arrival, you can indulge in some boutique shopping, experience fine dining at a world-class brasserie or enjoy a glass of bubbly at the longest champagne bar in Europe.
As well as lots of shops and restaurants, you’ll find underground lines and buses to whisk you to London’s top museums and galleries.
