How long does it take to get from London to Paris on Eurostar?
I’m planning on going to London and was thinking of taking a day trip to Paris-1st off is it worth it-and how much would it cost. thanks.
While you can do it in one day, making a day trip to Paris is not a good idea.
Leaving 5.25 from London, (you need to be at the station before 4.55,) you get to Paris 8.50.
Returning you catch the train 21.13 (20.43 at the station) to reach London 22.34, Not too bad. But it does cost quite a bit. How much depend on when you travel and whether you can change your reservation, but expect between 50 and 80 pound, can go up more for a different date.
The point is, your stay in London is already short (otherwise you would have asked about a longer stay in Paris), why spend part of it on a long boring train travel to go to a town that you can not see much of in one day.
A day trip London-Paris is something for people Living in London, and even they should go for a much longer stay.

Just go through the system, selecting a train, and so on, because even when you see all the prices you have not booked anything.

The Eurostar goes very quickly i've got first clast on it and it was very enjoyable. It usualy takes 2 hours and 45 minutes. If you get 1st class it is 100 pounds, it was worth it
