The Eurostar can take up to 2hrs 37mins from Paris to London, however, most of our trains will take you to London in only 2hrs 17 mins. If you take the first Eurostar at 5:40am, this direct train from city centre to city centre will give you plenty of time to make the most of a day trip to London!

You should get to Paris Gare du Nord about 30 minutes before departure in order to pass the customs and security checks before your train departs.
