Advantages
Fast check inWifiSeatsDisadvantages
-The journey on the Eurostar train (train number 9117) from Brussels-Midi to London St Pancras International was a real travel highlight. Even at check-in in Brussels, everything was very organised and speedy, and the staff were friendly and helpful. The security and passport checks went quickly, so there was still enough time to get a coffee or snack in the terminal.
The Eurostar itself is very modern, clean and offers spacious, comfortable seats with plenty of legroom. I found the power sockets at every seat particularly practical, as well as the free wifi, which worked reliably throughout the journey. The on-board bistro "Café Métropole" had a good selection of snacks and drinks to suit every taste. The atmosphere on the train was pleasantly quiet and relaxed, allowing me to enjoy the journey through Belgium, northern France and the Eurotunnel.
The direct connection without changing trains is ideal, especially for business travellers or anyone who wants to travel as stress-free and comfortable as possible. After arriving at London St Pancras International, you are right in the heart of the city and have perfect connections to the underground and other means of transport.
Advantages
ComfortableUnique tunnel journeyRelatively favourable if booked in good timeDisadvantages
Long waiting timesFull waiting areasCan be expensive if booked at short noticeI can only recommend the Eurostar from Brussels to London. I travelled on the Eurostar from Brussels to London on 27/08/2022 from 14:52 to 15:57 in carriage 10 in seat 53. My booking number was D6TJRR. (Please keep private.) The seats were of ICE level comfort / slightly below and there were no major disturbing noises. There was an on-board bistro, but nothing was included in my fare (standard). There were both German and British power sockets and there was also wifi, which in my experience only worked moderately (no longer 100% secure). You had to arrive between 45 - 60 minutes before departure, depending on the occupancy rate in the "Standard" category. The train was also on time and it was relatively clean. I didn't have too much to do with the staff. However, they were generally very / extremely friendly / nice. My journey took 01:05 hours. However, a seat had to be reserved (free of charge when booking). The price-performance ratio depends very much on the ticket price. Can be good or rather mediocre - bad. The train had the train number 9141.
Advantages
Comfortable seatsFree socketsSmooth rideDisadvantages
Toilets unhygienicAs always, it was very easy to buy the ticket for the journey online. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The train was very clean inside, but the toilets were dirty and unhygienic! There were few people on the train and the journey was very quiet. I travelled for about five hours in total without changing trains. The train left on time. The free wifi worked very well. As always, the price-performance ratio is excellent!
Advantages
Very nice serviceFavourable ticketDisadvantages
Was a little lateI booked this ticket almost a year ago and was very happy with the journey. I bought the ticket at the ticket counter and the lady there was very nice.
Unfortunately, the train was a little late, but this had no consequences for me. The comfort on board was very good and there was plenty of legroom. The wifi on board was very fast. The hygiene on board and in the toilets was also good.
I thought the price-performance ratio was very good. The service on board was very friendly.
Advantages
Train journey went very quicklyGifts for childrenNice staffDisadvantages
Train arrived slightly lateThe train journey was very good. The train journey was 2 hours and 10 minutes in total, which was very nice that we got gifts from the train staff. We travelled on Eurostar train number 9113 and there were no stops. The staff were also very nice, but unfortunately the train arrived 3 minutes late, which has to be said. This also delayed the arrival time by 3 minutes, but there were no intermediate stops, so changing trains was not necessary, and there was an on-board restaurant, so catering was provided, all in all the journey was good.
Advantages
Friendly staffDisadvantages
Destroyed seatsVery dirty floorTrain arrived lateThe train journey was very bad because the train arrived late and the seats were very dilapidated, even partly destroyed. The floor by the train was also very dirty. And the train was also late, but the staff were very friendly and always helped with questions. We booked the journey with our trusted travel agency. We travelled by TGV train to London. There were no intermediate stops and the journey took two hours, but unfortunately there was no catering on site.
Advantages
View was very niceTrain arrived on timeTrain was very modern (wifi, TV)Disadvantages
Staff was very rudeThe train journey was very nice, you had a beautiful view during the journey, and the train also arrived on time, plus you had plenty to do on the train, as the train had wifi and a TV, despite this the staff were unfortunately not so friendly. The booking was made through our travel agency. We travelled on Eurostar 9113, there was no need to change trains as the train travelled to our destination, but there were 7 stops along the way and plenty of catering was provided by the on-board restaurant. Our journey time was 2 hours. To summarise, the journey was reasonable for the price.
Advantages
Good viewFriendly serviceDisadvantages
Train arrived lateUnpleasant volumeTrain was unhygienicThe train journey was very good, we got on very well with the timetable and the reservation. However, there was something to criticise about the seat, as it was a bit dirty, and the train was also a bit late. We travelled on the Eurostar train line. The noise level on the train was not pleasant. But there was wifi and power sockets. The service was very friendly and kept us well informed. The cleanliness was very poor throughout the train. The journey time was reasonable. We booked the journey through our trusted travel agency, there was no need to change trains as the train travelled directly to the destination, the journey time was around 2 hours, there was also an on-board restaurant on the train where you could buy food, in summary the journey was rather mediocre.
Advantages

-The train journey on Eurostar 4012 from Brussels to London was simply fantastic!
The journey only took 1 hour and 8 minutes and it was a direct connection, which made travelling extra enjoyable. I was able to sit back, relax and enjoy the view without having to change trains. The train was on time and offered a quiet atmosphere, perfect for travelling.
The interior of the train was modern and comfortable. The seats were very comfortable and offered enough space to feel at ease during the journey. In addition, the train was clean and well maintained, which made the travelling experience even more enjoyable.
The staff on board were friendly and helpful. They looked after the passengers and were always available to answer questions. The service was really first class.
Another plus point was the wifi, which was stable and fast, so I was able to work and wifi without any problems during the journey.
Overall, the Eurostar 4012 train journey from Brussels to London was an all-round great experience. I can highly recommend this direct connection and would take it again at any time!

Important Travel Information: EU Entry/Exit System (EES)
With the introduction of the Entry/Exit System (EES) by the European Union, it is now required for non-EU nationals to register each time they enter or leave the Schengen Area. This new system is especially relevant for UK travelers on services like Eurostar. While a valid passport has always been required for border crossings, the EES adds a new step to the process. To ensure a smooth journey, please make sure you have all necessary travel documents prepared.
Eurostar Cross-Border Travel Information
| Category | Information |

| Visa Required | ✅ |
| Visa Requirement Details | UK passport holders do not need a visa for short stays (up to 90 days in any 180-day period) in the Schengen Area. Other nationalities may require a Schengen visa. |
| Electronic Travel Authorisation (ETA) | ✅ |
| ETA Details | From 2025, non-visa nationals (including most EU citizens) traveling to the UK will need to apply for an Electronic Travel Authorisation (ETA). This is a separate requirement from the EU's EES. |
| E-Visa | ❌ |
| E-Visa Link | Visas are not arranged through an e-visa system for most short-stay purposes; they must be applied for in advance through the relevant embassy or consulate. |
| Visa On Arrival (At The Border) | ❌ |
| Visa On Arrival Details | Visas are not issued at the Eurostar terminal. You must have all required travel documents and visas in advance of your journey. |
| Passport Validity | For travel to the Schengen Area, your passport must be less than 10 years old and valid for at least three months beyond the date you intend to leave the EU. For travel to the UK, your passport must be valid for the duration of your stay. |
| Immigration Process | Passengers pass through both UK exit checks and the destination country's entry immigration at the departure station before boarding. This is different from bus travel where the process is at the border. |
| Entry/Exit System (EES) | ✅ |
| EES Details | The EU's new Entry/Exit System (EES) will replace passport stamping for non-EU nationals (including UK citizens).

| Check-in Process | You must check in by scanning your ticket at the automated gates. Check-in closes 30 minutes before departure for most tickets. |
| Common Scams | Not applicable at the secure station terminals. Passengers should be aware of standard travel scams (e.g., pickpocketing in crowded areas). |
| Tips For A Smooth Trip | Arrive early (60-90 minutes before departure). Have your passport and tickets ready. Use the new EES kiosks for a quicker process. Place luggage on the X-ray scanner belt and walk through the metal detector. |
| Border Opening Hours | The Eurostar terminal's security and passport control area typically opens 90 minutes before the first departure and closes 30 minutes before the last departure. The train service itself does not run 24/7. |
| Travel Insurance | Strongly recommended. Not checked at the border, but essential for medical emergencies, delays, or theft. |
