Full review

My husband & I have travelled on Eurostar a number of times now, both from Waterloo & St Pancras, and have loved it every time. The new terminal at St Pancras is a particularly beautiful place to start your journey, and much more convenient if you're travelling from anywhere north of London (which cover of Britain is)

By far the most civilised way to get to mainland Europe, there are no ridiculous queues for check-in/ security, you are not asked to turn up hours before you travel and you have reasonable legroom & decent food on-board. As a bonus, Eurostar is now making all journeys carbon-neutral.

The new "Availability Calendar" feature on the website allows you to check for the cheapest tickets in any given week, which can be as little as £59 return between London & Paris.

We're already looking forward to our next trip - a day-trip to Paris for my mother-in-law's birthday.
