Leaving from the middle of London and arriving in the middle of Amsterdam, with the Channel Tunnel, Belgium and the Dutch polders in between: that is the appeal of this route. It links the United Kingdom with the Netherlands for city breaks, for work in the Dutch capital and for the start of a European rail trip that continues to Berlin or beyond.

About the London to Amsterdam train
The London end is St Pancras International, on the Euston Road beside King's Cross, with the metro beneath it. Allow time there for the security and passport checks before boarding, and check the entry rules for your passport before you travel. The booking needs a date and a headcount; AI Concierge also sells Amsterdam to London, so compare the return as its own leg. Amsterdam Centraal lets you out onto the water side of the old city, with the Damrak running south into the centre and the canal ring wrapping around it. The city is flat, small and dense, built for bicycles and trams rather than cars, and it is easy to explore on foot from any hotel inside the ring. Schiphol airport is south-west of the city; if you fly home rather than take the train back, the hotel distances on this page tell you how far out each sits. The Netherlands eSIM plans linked here cover data after you are across the Channel, and Where to stay in Amsterdam shows a sample from the catalogue.
