Public transport is a practical way to get from Gare de Lyon to Paris Gare du Nord when changing trains. The journey takes around 30 minutes. Here's what to do:

1. When you arrive at Gare de Lyon, follow the signs to the RER station located at the far end of Hall 3. Buy a Navigo Easy pass at a ticket machine or a ticket desk. If you want to beat the queues, you can also buy a Metro-Train-RER ticket ahead of your trip using the Île-de-France Mobilités (opens in a new tab)or Bonjour RATP (opens in a new tab) app.
2. Follow the signs to RER line D nord (north), and board any RER D train heading north (to Orry la Ville/Coye la Forêt, Goussainville or Villiers le Bel/Gonesse Arnouville).
3. Get off the train at Paris Gare du Nord.
4. Follow signs for Grandes Lignes.

• If you're travelling to Belgium, the Netherlands or Germany, look for the platform your train will depart from on the departures board. Find your platform and be ready to board your Eurostar train at least 10 minutes before departure.

• If you’re travelling on to the UK, follow signs for 'Hall 2/London departures' up to the first-floor mezzanine. Please ensure you get there well before the ticket gates close – You’ll need to allow plenty of time to go through security and passport control.

Your train will arrive right in the heart of London at St Pancras International, one of the most elegant stations in the world. As border checks take place before departure, you can simply hop off the train and leave the station.

St Pancras International is well connected to Underground lines and buses. There's also a black cab stand right outside and King's Cross station is just across the road if you have a connecting train.
