About Love and London:
I'm Jess, I've lived in London for many years, and this channel is a London travel guide for anyone visiting the city that wants to experience it like you live here. Beyond talking about the usual London attractions, I show you some of the cooler things to do in London, that most travel guides don't mention. Watch my videos and you'll feel like you've got a Londoner friend telling you the best kept secrets in the city.
As a Korean, I really envy Europeans because they can go anywhere by train or land.
Thanks for sharing your video.
Can we appreciate that she answerers all the comments x
I try :)
It's the best feeling ever going from city centre to city centre!! 😎
I was on 7:01 train on the 10th March, I totally agree train to Paris is so much easier and convenient than plane. Scan the ticket, security check, passport control and to the train only took me 25 mins.
Start my journey from Leicester 4:39 EMT to St Pancras arrived 6:20 and just so convenient. Staff was very helpful and train was clean, great experience overall. Same day back picking up my motorcycle near Paris via Euro tunnel Le Shuttle from Calais and 35 mins later back to England.
I totally agree what you said in your Vlog
Nice. Thanks for watching Jaswinder!
Hello will you pls tell me us there any limitations for luggage?
We’re visiting London and Paris in less than 3 weeks!! Been watching a lot of your vlogs, very informative! Thank you so much 🙏🏾
You're welcome! Have a great time. Be sure to check out my 48 hours guide to Paris too! ruclips.net/video/yPu0c_6d2cI/видео.html&t
Eurostar offers 3 classes of services: Standard, Standard Premier and Business Premier. All comfortable but different conditions, and prices for each of them.
Is best to get to the check-in area at least 1 hour prior departure time.
I love Eurostar.
Thank you for your 2 tips that were not mentioned in the video. THANK YOU!
How much for eurostar
Train?
@@ley7367 The key is to book in advance, a return in Standard can be £69 but not at last minute as those seats are not many and sold out.
A return to Paris in Business Premier, the nicest and the higher class on Eurostar is always £550
@@bravolondon can you please share a link to book tickets from?
@@sabashahverdi4096Pretty much it should be on the Eurostar website
This is what I need! It's like you're posting all the stuff I'll be doing when I get to London. Love love love your travel guide as well!
😈😈😈😈😈 haha love it. And I'm so glad you like the guide! Thank you so much Elizabeth.
Heading to Paris & London in about a week. Taking granddaughter as her graduation gift from 8th grade. Taking Eurostar from Paris to London. Looking forward to it. Thanks for the video.
Have a lovely time ♥️
Just took the 10:22 this past Sunday for the first time. I arrived at St. Pancras far too early. Good to note there is a small sign that informs you when to queue. They wont let you line up early to get through the passport checkpoint (I tried and failed). Watching for the sign with your departure time on it is key. They will not depart until everyone is on the train, so no need to sweat security. They will expedite your passage through security if you are running late. I watched as they aided a few people who were scheduled to depart on the train before mine. (Thanks for the vids. They were quite useful during my stay in London. Heading back there this week. Have to find me a wifey, job, Irish passport or any combination of the three so I can stay. I like me some London. Gotta get out of SCAMerica.)
Glad you enjoyed the video Marty, thanks so much for your input. Enjoy your visit.
Hi Marty. Could you please tell me how long the passport control takes in Paris Gare du Nord? Many thanks.
So you want to get married so you can stay in the UK? That's a scam in itself.
I like how you was straight to the point. Didn’t fill the video with irrelevant comment just to puff out the time.
Glad you enjoyed it Roy!
I'm going end of April and can't wait. This is gonna be fun!
Great ❤️❤️
Thank you. I will be going to London Next year in May and also Paris I was thinking to buy a plane ticket but this train looks so good and fast
one of my favourite places in London and not just because I usually stay within a 5-10 minute walk from this station - such an easy jumping off point with the library and British museum nearby, but also Camden and its markets, great pubs and restaurants, and easy to get on the tube with.a few lines connecting at Kings Cross. Hoping to get back to London in December after a sojourn across the Pacific to Japan in September - please keep up the great content and inspiring us all to visit the greatest city on the planet
Thanks so much for watching!
Couple of add-on suggestions - listen to folks playing the piano in the departure lounge before passport control (or try yourself !). If St Pancras Renaissance is too expensive, the Premier Inn St Pancras is literally across the road, the air con works (!) and convenient to drop bags if arriving early or leaving late. Also (unlike many other rail fares) return tickets in Eurostar are cheaper than 2 singles.
Thanks for watching Richard! Actually the ticket price this isn't correct just FYI
we thinking about take for go Paris Disneyland family journey
Not correct Richard. E* prices on a one-way basis. Return fares are simply twice the one-way price.
@@alexmcwhirter6611 Actually a discount is applied to both tickets if you buy both at the same time, which is a weird way of doing a "return" fare but that's what they do. If you go on Eurostar and test it out, you'll see a return is usually about £20 cheaper overall!
@@jamiestone1809 OK. I wasn't aware. What must be noted is that Eurostar considers itself more as a (reputable) airline rather than a humble train firm. Hence the product it offers differs from that of regular train firms. Now that Eurostar has merged with Thalys it remains to be seen if any changes will be made to either firms' product.
On my very first visit to the UK in 2014 whilst in London I decided to pop over to Paris for the day, as I thought I may never have another opportunity to see to Paris. (I have since been a number of times) The Eurostar was super simple - centre of London to centre of Paris. Left St Pancras about 0630 and returned from Gard Du Nord about 2030. A couple of years later I did the same with a day trip to Brussels.
I have since been on the Eurostar a number of times. One tip: pre-purchase your economy ticket online well in advance to get the cheapest price - then on the day of travel ask person in charge on the train about the cost of an upgrade to business. The ticket cost was money spent before your holiday and so the upgrade cost is the only cost on your holiday. I have been lucky with the upgrade cost being not much more than it would cost to buy food on the train.
I want to try this
since Business Premier would cost us $1200 more than standard to purchase outright but Eurostar says on their website that they are unable to upgrade to Business Premier at the ticket office in their FAQ :(
@@jmxtwiztid1 Sorry!! I made a mistake. My upgrade was from Standard to Standard Premier - not to Business. It was still a good upgrade as it included food and more space. The principle of having paid for the original seat months before leaving home and only a small cost from one's holiday money still holds true. Business is still out of my reach costwise!
@aussiebloke51 no worries, I appreciate the info as it helps us who are looking to book for the first time. It's $400 round trip for us to upgrade to Standard Premier but now we might just book standard and try our luck at the gate. Thank you!
I also agree beyond passport control is not very exciting; just keep an eye out on any queue. I’ve travelled both Business and Standard. Whilst the meal might be nice not convinced it’s worth the increase. Standard is comparatively comfortable
Thanks - I just booked Paris to London. Nice to get a "look" at the process.
Glad to hear you enjoyed it Evelyn, thanks for watching :)
It's a very beautifull station pass through their many a time to cut through to South coast uk safe journeys 🎈🇬🇧
I love the Eurostar. An Uber takes about 15 minutes from my house to St. Pancras and then 2.5 hours later I'm in the centre of Paris or Brussels.
It's great isn't it. Much better and quicker than flying.
Thanks for sharing doing it for the first time in a couple of weeks, looks nice and easy.
It is. Have a great trip!
Great video! I have clients looking to do this and I may do it myself as well.
Thanks so much for this video. It will be my first time traveling to Europe in late September, and I will be going to Nice after visiting London. I just booked my Eurostar tickets. So excited.
Have fun
I love how easy it is to visit Paris from London thanks to the Eurostar! Would love to go again this year! 😍
Ugh it's so easy and comfy. Thanks for watching Daniela.
Absolutely PERFECT video here, thanks so much! Travelling London > Paris via the Eurostar for the first time tomorrow. Nice touch putting the addresses for London St Pancras and Paris Gare Du Nord in text on screen, will help with Google Maps/Uber 🙏
Hope you enjoyed!
Thank you so much for your helpful video. I'll be in London in April taking the Eurostar to Paris. You couldn't made my journey any easier I'll know what to expect.
Merci beaucoup!😉
You're very welcome ❤️❤️
Outstanding video, I’ve been watching travel vids and travelling for over a decade and vids like this are exceptional as it gives some travellers a practice run and puts a lot at ease when they see how easy it could be.. 👊🏽🙏🏽👍🏼🏴
Thank you for the perfect video
We needed this ❤
Ohhh, I'm just about to move to London and when I earn my first salary, that's what I'm going to do! Thank you so much for all your tips!!!
Thanks for watching!
Loved the video but some more information on what one can expect in the way of Customs before entering France if any would be helpful to 1st time Eurostar travelers. Great job Jess & team!
We can't film that bit of course, but it's border control for UK then EU before you get on the train. Nothing in France.
Hello There, this is a really useful and informative Guide, there are three types of class, two types of economy class, Standard, Standard Premier and Business Premier. Thank you for sharing this, it's much appreciated. Cheers Peter :)
AHHHH IT’S FINALLY HAPPENING 🥹
Brilliant 👍
So easy! Thanks for taking me through the London to Paris Eurostar trip in 5 steps!
You're welcome, Julie, thanks for watching!
This helped me a lot cuz I'll be going on the eurostar to Paris in October for the first time
Me too! Have a good trip! 🌸
@@sophieannexs You too 😁
Have a great time!
@@loveandlondon thank u
When the luxury, first class and fun is herself !
Super grateful to have this helpful little video of the step-by-step process of the journey from London to Paris on the euro star. I was really nervous to take this trip since I’m traveling alone and have never taken the euro star before. Thank you so much for taking the time to create this video, I feel a lot more at ease about my trip now.
you're so welcome! Honestly there's no need to be worried it's super simple and I think you'll like it :)
Same here! Thank you so much! I wonder what to take to get from that station to the Eiffel Tower 😂 - I’m praying for us both lol
I agree.. if the info was actually accurate. Disappointed that I trusted her information which was wrong. Hope you were not caught out yourself
Wow. This is the travel i wanna go. From NorCal to UK then to Paris then Switzerland then Italy. Via their train system.
❤️❤️❤️
Great video with lots of valuable information. Thank you!
I love the Eurostar so much, I haven't been on it since I was a younger child but have always had the ambition to go again. The last time I travelled on it I was in the Business Premier seats but on the old model of Eurostar, hence I'm excited to experience the newer version hopefully this Weeknd if all things go to plan. Wish me luck. Thanks for the video.
We actually have a video coming out in two weeks taht will show all three classes in the Eurostar :) Thanks for watching!
@@loveandlondonSo just one question, did you fly to London and book a flight and hotel package or booked the flight snd overnight hotel stay separate?
Hi Jess. Thank you for highlighting the hotel you stayed. Love it. Seems so easy travelling from London to Paris by train. Wonderful and informative vid.
💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐❤️👍
Thanks for watching!
If there isn't much to do places then look at the details and maybe it can be something that helps you find a nice picture.
I'm doing this next month, collecting all the information for our travel. Looks like a easy trip, I'm excited
Definitely easy. Enjoy it
Wow! That's cool 😎 thanks for sharing. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you for this video I did not know you can take a train from London to Paris.
❤️❤️❤️❤️
Going on sunday so excited
I am glad I saw this video. I am due to ride to Eurostar in a few weeks, from Paris to London (and back). I am told the stations and trains get very crowded. Nevertheless, seeing this video eases my anxiety a little. I never took a train between two different countries outside of the U.S.
The trains don't get overcrowded as everyone has an assigned seat so you don't have to worry about that. Stations can be busy depending on when you travel but not a huge deal. Glad that the video helped, that's exactly why we made it :) ♥️
@Noah Maddox always best to get that kind of info directly from the governments’ website. Info changes frequently. I just came to france yesterday and needed vaccination proof (2 doses plus booster) to board the plane and ahead of time I filled in the government locator form online on the government of france website.
Looks pretty easy to get on the Eurostar. We're looking forward to getting on it for our 24 hour London trip next summer.
THIS IS THE BEST WAY TO DO IT ...NO NEED TO FLY !!!!! WOOOO HOOOOOO
Take care Poppet In These Troubled Times... Think Ahead Jess And Stay Safe... xx
I took the Eurostar from London to Paris last week, and back in a day.
I would like to know if arriving from Paris to St Pancras, will we also have to face the long queues at passport control or just leave??
@ you just leave.
I'd add a recommendation, even if you're going to Paris for the day, bring something to read or watch bc on my trip back we got stuck at Lille for 3 hours due to an accident on the tracks. Rare but it happens.
Yup, delays of course can happen! And for anyone else reading this, I do NOT recommend a day trip to Paris... wayyyyy too far to go!
@@loveandlondon 2.5 hours being too far to go is, I think, a very European opinion. It's normal for me as an American bc it takes me an hour to drive across my hometown.
But there's lots of great shopping & places to eat & drink in the main St Pancras Station itself if you have time
Love this video. Very informative I’m planning a London/Paris Trip gonna def take this Train.
Glad to hear it, thanks for watching!
I’m gonna go to Paris
This is so helpful for my anxious little heart as I plan my trip to London & Paris in the fall!! Question - have you been to York? We're thinking of taking a quick side trip there and would love any tips or suggestions you may have!
Glad you found it helpful Sara! I haven't been to York, no. I usually recommend skipping day trips out of London if there for less than a week FYI because there is SOOOOO much to do in London.
(Late reply) but I’m also going Paris in the fall and I’m a very anxious person and I’ve watched this video many times and definitely helpful! I hope your trip went/ goes well! 🌸
awesome informative video. from what i understand, the only stations to take for this trips are St Pancras and Gare Du Nord. I believe there are no other stations in each city that make the international journey
That's true for London but I don't think it is for Paris, other stations have trains that go to other countries ! :) Thanks for watching!
I love London although it was long time ago experience. Hope to visit London again
great ♥️
I love your channel. It is so helpful. Thank you!
Thanks so much!
So, where is everyone? How did you just walk through without queuing? Usually there are thousands of people there!
Not that day!
It's about the way I remembered it, when I took the train to Paris years ago. Your train did look newer. On the way back, I did take a plane from Paris to Heathrow and then to LAX. For the round trip flight I had, I had to go thru Heathrow on the way back. Taking a plane from CDG made more sense, than doing a Paris -> Eurostar -> and then to the airport on the same day. Good video.
Thanks for watching!
@@loveandlondon Thanks again.
How cool to stay right in St. Pancras! I've traveled the Eurostar several times, both to London and from London, and never realized that. Learn something new every day . . .
I love the Eurostar service. Easy, timely and speedy. 🚄
Thanks for sharing, Jess. Off to watch your 48 hours in Paris! 🥐🥖
It's relatively easy isn't it? And more comfortable than flying. Have you seen my video showing the hotel? It's here: ruclips.net/video/lX7B2gftFK4/видео.html&t thanks so much for watching Lori, appreciate it!
Great video and it looks quite easy with hardly any hassle. I can see myself doing it in the future.
very easy indeed. Thanks for watching Juan!
London it's my dream place
Amazing. Thanks for sharing. 🙏
Thanks for watching ❤️❤️
Love to go to london to paris
Always loved that moment, when you’re coming out of the tunnel and you’re in France! Just like that indeed 😊
right?! Thanks so much for watching.
Great post! Simple and sweet! No over-explanation.
Glad you enjoyed it Joel, thank you!
Ps on the Eurostar with 21,000 Hp under the bonnet you will go like the clappers... Have Fun xx.
Thank you for your video, me and my wife will go to London and Paris next month from Vancouver. I’m so exiting now. Like and Share your RUclips channel👍
Glad you found it helpful, thanks for watching Siu!
Loved the Eurostar.
Same!
Great video Jess, doing the exact same journey to watch the tennis in June, hopefully a very smooth experience like yours ☺️
Nice! Thanks for watching.
How was wifi ? I need to work with some meeting during this travel. I loved your video !
It's really not great. Sometimes doesn't connect and definitely not strong enough for calls. Thanks for watching!
@@loveandlondon wish I knew it. Bad planning on my side. I had to call it a day lol :)
You can get into the Premier Lounge with an American Express Platinum, although I found out they wouldn't let me in with a business plat, personal only they said.
Good to know about the personal/business thing! Thanks for watching.
Hi am travelling to Paris on 31st may for the first time
Is there an immigration in Paris again ? We need to get down and travel to Paris Gare d'Austerlitz and take another train in an hour. Wondering if that will be sufficient time. Thanks in advance for taking time make these videos and answering questions!
Nope! Thanks for watching
Hello I'm from india but i have brp card so if wanna go to paris then what are the requirements to visit paris
Unfortunately we don't provide visa advice ❤️
Thanks for information. ,väldigt smidigt att resa mellan två värdsmetropoler , Swedish 🕺
Thanks for watching!
In summertime, how early do you suggest getting to the station for economy security during a weekday morning? I'd rather be early and not panicking that I'll miss the train, but I don't want to be waiting around forever.
The app will tell you how early you need to arrive
I honestly thought it was like 5-10 hours. But I’m from Texas and 2.5hrs is going to work and back with a little detour.
Haha
Thank you so much for making this !!!!
You're welcome, thanks for watching!
Perfect video. Can;t wait to get back to London
Thanks so much, glad you enjoyed it Dave.
Explain the passport check you mentioned. Also do get seat assignments or pick seats on-board?
Not even a "please"? 😂 Passport check is just like any border you would cross anywhere else. Seats are assigned ahead of time.
Thanks for an informative video. And now I must ask, two years on, where you got the black lace up boots you're wearing. I love the turned down cuff, too, if my eyes are deceiving me. I have some Doc's 1460s but wonder if they'd be too stiff for walking all over the place. Thanks in advance!
Jess said they're from Wills Vegan Shoes :)
I would like to know if arriving from Paris to St Pancras, will we also have to face the long queues at passport control or just leave??
They usually do it prior to you getting on the train, so it's a bit of a line but moves fast :)
How much is the train ticket? Eurorail. Can i use it all over Europe? Im just visiting 5 countries however i want to fly as well between [countries]. Your advice?? Thank you 4 such a great video❤
You're thinking of the Eurail pass!
Got a question, if you know this, can I add another day too my trip with trainline site where I paid for tickets and my hotel. if I have already picked/brought the days with both already??
Hm not sure you'd have to check with Trainline!
Thank you for this video.
I have a question though, how’s the pressure changing inside the train? Is it like being in a plane or like diving or different? 😅😅
(First time in anything underwater)
Nah it's mostly fine!
You didn't show what too do at passport check and border gates ie need to place passport on a gate? Then wait for it too go green
They don't let you film in those areas
Excellent 👍🏼😊
Oh the Eurostar, the train was very nice and the ride was very quick and smooth. I took the business class on the reverse route of yours Jess (Paris to London). For me the process was like at the airport. Great video overall Jess.
Thanks for watching Jason!
But much quicker in my opinion
Can you please tell me can we take hair straightner and hair dryer?? Whe we go by train , and no legges weight limits?
Just in your suitcase!
My journey there is two hours and 27 min oooh.I'm going and for the first time,in march 2025 😁🤔
Have fun! Be sure to watch the Love and Paris channel !
thanks for this video. We are planning on taking Eurostar from London to Paris . Plan quick view of a few tourist spots and if time permits Disneyland Paris. Question - must we purchase ticket to and from in advance or can we purchase them day of our trip
100% purchase as far in advance as possible. The pricing is dynamic so as availability goes down, prices go up (a lot). There's a link in the description box of the video with where you can book tickets!
Wow Eurostar seems like a pretty good way of traveling around Europe… Planning to go Europe next Summer maybe London >> Paris >> Brussels ( for Tomorrowland!) >> Amsterdam
Love the Eurostar, easy experience plus it's better for the environment than flying!
Hello mam i am in uk on visitor visa from nepal.and can i also go to france for few days unitl my visa expires.
When go through passport security do you get a stamp since your leaving the country?
I don't think so but can't remember
Nice video !
Thanks for watching!
Do we have to worry about luggage stealing when we put our suitcase on the rack near the doors?
If going to Paris there's only one stop so where they gonna go😎
His can I know if we need to go though any immigration counters? if so do I need my passport only or my BRP too? x
Yes, as you're going to a different country :)
Hi, Is there any luggage restrictions to how much weight we can carry ?
