Whether you’re heading from Rotterdam to London by train to work or play, visit friends and family, or soak up the sights and culture, your trip will begin from the moment you board. Read on to discover all the reasons why you should travel on the Eurostar Rotterdam to London train.

Take a high-speed train from Rotterdam to London**

To start your journey, get to Rotterdam Centraal at our recommended arrival time to allow plenty of time to go through border controls and security.

When you arrive at the station, please be sure to keep your ticket handy as you’ll need to scan it at the NS ticket gates to enter the station. Find the Eurostar departures building at the end of platform 2. Once there, you’ll need to show your ticket and pass through security before moving to a waiting area.

Rotterdam Centraal station is an iconic and ultra-modern building located in the heart of the city. It’s well connected by public transport links including trams, buses, and metro services.

You’ll find plenty of shops and restaurants at Rotterdam Centraal to keep you occupied before you jump on one of our Eurostar trains.

What’s on board?

Once on board, settle into your spacious seat and tuck in to drinks, snacks or a meal from Eurostar Café. If you'd rather bring your own picnic, there's no limit on liquids, so don't forget the bubbly.

And with free wi-fi and entertainment on our new trains, as well as sockets to keep your gadgets charged, you can relax en route with a film or box set.

Taking an indirect train from Rotterdam to London

If the times of our direct trains to London don’t suit, you can get a Eurostar train from Rotterdam Centraal to Brussels-Midi/Zuid instead (it takes 1 hour 27 minutes) and then change to a Eurostar London train for the remainder of the journey.

Get off the train in Brussels and find the departure area under platforms 1 and 2. When you get there, scan the barcode on your Eurostar ticket at the ticket gates, pass through security and passport control and you’re on your way again.

Arriving at London St Pancras International

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.
