Trains from Brussels to London
Under the sea is the part people remember: the train from Brussels to London crosses northern France and then the Channel Tunnel, surfacing in Kent and running into a station in the middle of the capital. It connects the Belgian capital and the European institutions with London for business, for weekends and for visiting family.

About the Brussels to London train
Because the journey crosses into the United Kingdom, allow time at Brussels-Midi for the passport and security checks, with your passport to hand. Decide too whether you want London to Brussels in the same booking; it is covered on its own page and priced for its own date. St Pancras International, where you arrive, is a Gothic revival station on the Euston Road, with King's Cross next door and the metro beneath both. London's centre is large by European standards, and where you stay sets the tone: Bloomsbury and its museums are within walking distance of the station, the West End and Soho are a short metro ride, the City is for working trips, and South Kensington and Chelsea suit a longer stay. The hotels listed on this page are nearer Heathrow than Gatwick, which is worth knowing if you fly out at the end. The United Kingdom eSIM plans linked here cover data for the stay, and Where to stay in London shows a sample from the catalogue.
