London's new international train station opened November 14, 2007, well sot-of new. The original St Pancras station, with its vast single span roof and Victorian Gothic façade, opened in 1868 and became a London icon. Now fully restored to house the 400-metre-long Eurostar trains, and given a stunning contemporary twist, it has been reborn as St Pancras International. It’s when they will be launching theirr services from St Pancras International.

The Chunnel Train is the best way to get to Paris from London. Don't even think about flying. Sine the  31.35 mile Chunnel opened in 1994 we have always used it. Now it is even easier, only 2 hours, 20 minutes. It takes you that long to get a cup of coffee at Heathrow!  And remember always book "First Class". You earned it.

The last services to arrive at and depart from Waterloo International will be on 13 November 2007. Then, overnight, we will move to St Pancras International, our new home in the centre of London. Wednesday 14 November 2007 marks the beginning of a new era in high-speed rail – and a revolution in travel between the UK and Continental Europe. St Pancras International, in the heart of London, offers better connections throughout the UK and will be home to a faster Eurostar. Reduced journey times: Eurostar will be on average 22 to 25 minutes quicker. 

• St Pancras International will offer a range of shops, bars and restaurants, unlike anything ever seen in a UK station. • There’s a world-class brasserie, Europe’s longest champagne bar, and a daily farmers’ market • A mix of independent and boutique retailers brings you the best of London, Paris and Brussels. • With a range of shops and cafes, as well as WiFi connectivity, the stylish Eurostar Lounges are ideal for work, rest or play. • Connections are outstanding, with six underground lines and seven rail companies operating from St Pancras International, King’s Cross and nearby Euston. • Paris Gare du Nord Gare du Nord is Eurostar's end destination in Paris. It is clean and modern but also one of the busiest stations in Europe. Tread lightly: you can rent bikes from Vélib' at the Gare du Nord, a clever, 24-hour rental system which allows you to drop them at a different point from which you picked them up. You can easily catch the Metro or the RER (urban bullet train); look up and follow the big, blue and white panels down the escalator. Taxis are also readily available from outside the station. For a quick bite to eat before boarding your train, you'll find plenty of brasseries and sandwich places in and out of the station.

 • Taking inspiration from New York’s Grand Central Terminal, St Pancras International will be Europe’s ‘destination station’ – a place people will want to go to, even if they’re not catching a train. • In the 1790s Earl Camden began to develop some fields to the north and west of the Old Church as Camden Town, which has become a better known place name than St Pancras. In the mid 19th century two major railway stations were built to the south of the Old Church, one of them called St Pancras and the other King's Cross. A residential district was built to the south and east of the church, but it is usually known as Somers Town. The term St Pancras is sometimes applied to the immediate vicinity of St Pancras Station, but King's Cross is the usual name for the area around the two mainline stations as a whole.  

An important London Landmark needs a unique London feature, and on the upper level where Eurostar departs sits just that - Europe's longest champagne bar. At over 90 metres no other bar comes close. A gastro pub run by Geronimo Inns and a more relaxed atmosphere to meet for drinks. Europe's favourite coffee houses will all be available at St Pancras for breakfast on the run and that early morning pick me up.  Click here to go to the web site of St. Pancras Here is an additionald web site for St. Pancras the official one!
