A London landmark
St Pancras International is the starting point for High Speed 1 - the UK's first high-speed line linking the centre of London with Continental high-speed lines.
Journey times are the fastest ever from central London:
St Pancras International to mid-morning croissants in Paris in just 2h 15
St Pancras International to a mug of hot chocolate in Brussels in 1h 51
St Pancras International to a spot of shopping in Lille in 1h 20
The opening of St Pancras International marked a new era for international train travel. The station is a London landmark - a place for people to visit even if they don't have a train to catch.
Prior to check-in, Europe's first destination station will have a world-class brasserie, arcade shopping and a daily farmer's market selling the very best, fresh British produce. And to add a little sparkle to your day you can visit 1868, Europe's longest champagne bar, which overlooks the hustle and bustle of the platforms.
The jewel in St Pancras’ crown is the single-span glass roof of the original Barlow Shed, which was once the largest enclosed space in the world. Eurostar is the only train to glide under this magnificent structure and into the heart of the station, allowing our travellers to rediscover the true art of travel.
The undercroft at St Pancras International originally stored barrels of beer from the famous Burton breweries; it now hosts an impressive array of food and shopping outlets. Beer lovers can rest easy: you can still get a very good pint at the station pub.
