Which London railway station is the terminus for Eurostar trains to Paris and Brussels?

London’s terminus for Eurostar trains to Paris and Brussels is St Pancras railway station, also known as London St Pancras International.

The station began as the Midland Railway’s London terminus and opened on 1 October 1868. Its famous train shed was designed by engineer William Henry Barlow, while the ornate Midland Grand Hotel frontage was designed by George Gilbert Scott. The building was nearly demolished in the 1960s but survived after a major preservation campaign.

St Pancras became Eurostar’s London terminal when services moved from Waterloo International in November 2007. The rebuilt international platforms connect with High Speed 1 and the Channel Tunnel, allowing trains to run directly to Paris and Brussels; Eurostar services later expanded to destinations including Amsterdam.

King’s Cross is next door and is a separate main-line station, which causes one of the most frequent mix-ups. Waterloo remains an important London terminus, but it no longer handles Eurostar’s regular continental services.
