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.

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.

Eurostar St Pancras
As from 14 November 2007, Eurostar will be moving its London base from Waterloo International to a new terminal at St Pancras.

St Pancras International is home to the new High Speed 1 – the UK’s first high-speed line connecting London with high-speed lines in Europe. This means that Eurostar journey times from St Pancras to Paris and Brussels will be even quicker and reduced by up to 22 minutes.

In just 2 hours fifteen minutes the Eurostar will take you from St Pancras to Paris and in less than two hours (1 hour fifty-one minutes to be precise) you could be in Brussels sipping a Belgian beer in one of the city’s many cafés. The Eurostar from St Pancras to Lille takes just 1 hour twenty minutes, perfect for those wanting an extra special daytrip out.

Travelling by Eurostar to St Pancras gives travellers access to a wider area of London including the City business districts, Canary Wharf and all that the West End has to offer.

St Pancras also offers superior underground connections with six tube lines and seven rail companies operating out of the major national stations of Kings Cross and Euston, as well as St Pancras itself making the Eurostar terminal more accessible for UK travellers to get to. In addition, from December 2007, the First Capital Connect service will run a direct connection to Eurostar’s St Pancras International.

The Eurostar St Pancras terminal itself will be transformed into an upmarket area of the station with international shops and cafes, farmer’s market and Europe’s longest Champagne bar.

Changing its base from Waterloo to St Pancras also means that Eurostar is doing its bit for the environment. Research shows that flying between London and Paris or Brussels generates ten times more carbon dioxide emissions than traveling by Eurostar train. The independent study commissioned by Eurostar shows that a return flight produces enough CO2 to fill a double-decker bus, while the CO2 emitted from a return rail trip would only fill a Mini. Once Eurostar journey times are shorter with the new station at St Pancras, the carbon dioxide emissions will be reduced further.

Shortly after switching its base to St Pancras, Eurostar will operate from a new station at Ebbsfleet near Dartford in Kent. Ebbsfleet is located off the M25 near to the Bluewater shopping centre. The new station will serve a catchment area of 10 million people and together with the continued service from Ashford, provide a 45% increased service from Kent. There will be 9,000 car parking spaces available as well as a frequent bus service to and from local railway stations.
There are also longer-term plans for Eurostar to run from a new international terminal at Stratford. This will open once better transport links have been developed in preparation for the 2012 Olympics.
The introduction of the new Eurostar terminals will mean a significant increase in the number of Eurostar trains serving London, and eight every hour will run from St Pancras, Ebbsfleet and Stratford.
