Eurostar Business Premier Lounge St Pancras International Railway Station London

(new) Eurostar Business Premier Lounge St Pancras London, originally uploaded by garybembridge. As you will know, I really love the Eurostar and think it is the only way to travel from London to Paris as a previous post explains. The Eurostar Business Premier Lounge at St Pancras London opened a few months after the station opened for Eurostar services. The station at St Pancras, as I have written about and shown in a previous post, is massive an…

The Eurostar St Pancras International Station: stunning and impressive

…t the Eurostar to Paris from the then new (and just opened) London base at St Pancras station. The station is next to the Kings Cross station in North London. At the time of my first visit, the Eurostar had only moved there from the somewhat cramped space at London Waterloo about 5 days before. So what were my thoughts and observations then and now after having been through the station about 20 times a year since then: It is a stunning space. The…

Eurostar Upstairs Business Lounge St Pancras London

Eurostar Upstairs Business Lounge St Pancras London (2), originally uploaded by garybembridge. Just after the new Eurostar St Pancras terminal in London opened, I posted a review and comment about the Business Lounge at the station. The review commented on how small it seemed for the volume of travellers, especially in the morning. To read that review and see the photos: click here. Eurostar had posted a comment about how that was just Phase 1 of…

Best way to get from Heathrow to Eurostar at St Pancras?

Eurostar Train at London St Pancras, originally uploaded by garybembridge. I got this query by email: “Gary, My cousin and I will be in Paris for only one and a half days. We will arrive in London at 7:30 a.m. on a Saturday, then take the Euro Star to Paris where we will spend the rest of Saturday and all of Sunday. We spend the night in Paris Sunday and leave for London the next morning. My question: What is the best way to get from London Heath…

(new) Eurostar Business Premier Lounge St Pancras London (2), originally uploaded by garybembridge. I am impressed. Within a very short space of time after posting on this blog today about my experiences and thoughts on the new Eurostar Lounge at St Pancras, the Eurostar Communications Chap (Gareth Headon) had dropped me an email with some news about the lounge: This is what he had to say: “I was interested to read your blog about your experience…

Novotel Hotel St Pancras London (review, video & photos)

…bridge. I stayed at this hotel, which is a short walk from Kings Cross and St Pancras (the new Eurostar terminal) the night before catching an early train to Paris. I got the room by using Airmiles and so do not pay anything for it. I would have been less than happy if I had. Perhaps as the room was bought using an Airmiles redemption, we got a less than ideal room. The room was on the 4th floor and so the noise from the main road was fairly relen…

When travelling from London to Paris, which is better: Eurostar Train or Flying?

Eurostar Train at London St Pancras (2), originally uploaded by garybembridge. For the last 4.5 years I was working in both London and Paris. This meant commuting a few times a month on average. So what did I find was the nest way to travel between London and Paris? This is also a question I get asked a lot by people visiting Europe and hoping to see both cities. The short answer is: There is no competition. To travel between London and Paris, th…

Eurostar Business Premier Lounge Paris Gard du Nord Station: what is it like?

…d du Nord I have written a few postings and reviews about Eurostar and the St Pancras terminal and business lounge at St Pancras International, and they are some of the more popular postings on the blog. I realised that I have not done the same about the Paris side at the Gard du Nord Station. So this posting corrects that! I am not sure if Eurostar had ever realised just how popular the train service under the Channel would become. The trains are…

…year to date PLUSSES Eurostar Travel to and from London/ Paris from London St.Pancras As in my various postings, nothing quite beats the ordeal of flying to and from Paris than the civilized Eurostar from the stunningly beautiful St Pancras station in London. There is a lovely business lounge in St Pancras, it is easy to check in and get through passport control. The negative so far is the messy and over crowed check-in/ passport at Paris Gard du…

Eurostar comments on my review of the new lounge

Eurostar Train at London St Pancras (2), originally uploaded by garybembridge. In their usual efficient way, within hours of posting a review of the new upstairs lounge at Eurostar St Pancras I got a note from Gareth Headon in the Corporate Communications Office commenting on the review. He says: “Dear Gary, I hope you’re well. I was interested to read your latest post on your experiences of the Eurostar business lounge. I’m glad you like the new…
