### High-speed train from London to Amsterdam

This elegant historic 19th-century station is conveniently located in the heart of London and is well connected by underground lines and buses.

Before you jump on one of our Eurostar trains you can indulge in some boutique shopping, experience fine dining at a world-class brasserie or enjoy a glass of bubbly at the longest champagne bar in Europe.



### On board a direct train from London to Amsterdam

Travelling with Eurostar is simple, affordable and relaxing. You can bring two bags and one piece of hand luggage for no extra charge and with no weight limits. We won’t charge you for choosing your seats and there are no restrictions on liquids, so feel free to bring something bubbly for the journey. Find out more about our luggage allowances.

### Arriving at Amsterdam Centraal from London St Pancras

Your train will arrive at Amsterdam Centraal Station, right in the heart of the city. When you arrive at the station, please be sure to keep your ticket handy as you’ll need to scan it at the NS ticket gates to exit the station.

The station is a stunning Gothic/Renaissance Revival building, designed by P.J.H. Cuypers, the same architect that developed the Rijksmuseum.

Amsterdam Centraal Station is well connected to the rest of the city by the tram network and is within walking distance from the popular Jordaan district, canal belt, and the old centre.



### Important information about your return journey

From  15 June 2024 until early 2025 there won't be any direct trains from Amsterdam to London because of renovations at Amsterdam Centraal station.

Don't worry, you can still travel from Amsterdam to London by taking the Eurostar to Brussels-Zuid/Midi, where you'll go through border control and then catch the train to London.



### Taking an indirect train

If the times of our direct trains to Amsterdam don’t suit, you can go to Brussels-Midi/Zuid instead and then change to a Eurostar train on any of our expanded network through Belgium, France, the Netherlands, and Germany, for the remainder of the journey.
