It’s an easy journey by train from Paris to London. Take a high-speed Eurostar train and dash off to trendy London in only 2 hours 20 minutes from Paris.
Book your tickets up to 6 months in advance to get the best fares on offer.
Your journey begins at the Paris Nord station, where before boarding the Eurostar trains, you will have to go through check-in. As Great Britain isn’t included in the Schengen Area, verification of identity and travel documents is required. During these security checks, baggage and passengers alike need to go through a scanner.
Check-in takes place in a specially designed area, locaed on the the upper floor of the station (level 1). This area also offers various recreational facilities for when you’re waiting to board your train to London. Relax in one of the cafés, shops or comfortable lounge areas before your departure.

The Electronic Travel Autorisation (ETA) is a digital autorisation required to enter the United Kingdom.
Since 2 April 2025, it has been compulsory for all citizens of the European Union (including children and babies), the European Economic Area and Switzerland travelling to the UK for short stays (up to 6 months), tourism, visits to relatives, business or short studies.
The ETA costs £16 per person. Once granted, it will be electronically linked to your passport and will be valid for 2 years (or until the expiry of the passport to which it is linked).
You must apply for your ETA online. Most applications are processed within 3 days, but this may be longer in some cases. So remember to apply for your ETA well in advance of your departure.
Apply for your Electronic Travel Autorisation or read more information on the UK Government website.
The European Union's new Entry/Exit System (EES) aims to automatically record entries and exits into the Schengen area for short stays (max. 90 days within a 180-day period) of non-EU citizens.
Non-EU citizens travelling to a European Union country will be required to provide the following when entering the Schengen area:
Nothing needs to be undertaken in advance: everything is done at the time of customs control (at the border, at the airport or at the Eurostar terminal in London). Non-EU citizens who have already provided this data will not need to provide it again in future: it will be stored for subsequent travels, making checks quicker.
The EES will gradually come into service from 12 October 2025: some non-EU travellers (increasing in number over the months) will be required to provide their EES data when they first enter the Schengen area for a short stay.
It will be fully implemented from 10 April 2026. From that date, all non-EU travellers will be required to provide their EES data if they have not already done so.
More information available on the EES website of the European Union.
