Janet CheungSeptember 1, 2014Takes a bit of time with customs and bag check so plan a bit more time ahead! You can print ur tickets at the kiosk if u have ur code so don't worry if u don't have printer access! Wifi is not stable

Tip for people sitting at a table seat. You can remove the knee cracking ashtrays so you have more room for your legs! Then conveniently place it above your head in the little gutter. More leg room!!

José otávio MartinsJune 20, 2013It's nice to arrive in a station like that after a long way from Paris to London. Free wifi in the whole terminal and a great infrastructure, mixing the old fashion w/ the 21th century's architecture.Upvoted 8 hours ago
DK RiyaniMarch 23, 2015While Waiting, we can charge our smartphone battery. But not all the plugs, functioning well. But there's some to choose and you can eat your meals near this handy bar 👌 or buy a magazine to read 📰

Alice BrescianiFebruary 2, 2013If you struggle for seats downstairs, just take the stairs to the first floor. Carluccio's is almost empty and lots of space inside to warm up. It has toilets as well!
Fast check-in, efficient staff, clean station, all the opposite of what you will find if you travel to Paris.
Abdulrahman Almunayes 🇰🇼January 2, 2023Very nice train station, trains always on-time, easy access, easy drops by cars or taxi, display screens everywhere for departure timings. Nice cafe, comfortable seats, fast & convenient. Recommended.
Michael HoldsworthSeptember 27, 2015The space up around the trains themselves often seems calm and peaceful compared to the chaos below. Hang around under the clock and watch the Eurostar trains come and go.
Dorothy DJune 22, 2023Have your passports ready. Arrive early if you want grab a bite to eat there are several tasty options if you have time. The station is beautiful. Don't be late because they are very efficient.
Brian StraussNovember 11, 2022A modern marvel to us Americans visiting Europe. My favorite way to get from Paris to London by far. A glimpse of a greener future of travel for all!
Greg FullerNovember 2, 2018Beautiful train station, looks like the one used in the Harry Potter movies (platform 9 3/4). Nice selection of food once you get through immigration and security.
Diana VaughnNovember 10, 2018If traveling Eurostar to paris, book car ahead of time with sncf idcab- they meet you with your name on sign at front of train and walk you to car.Reasonable pricing to avoid navigation hassle
Diane FangApril 29, 2019Pretty good and fast getting through security etc. but there’s not much sitting space after security.
Figen AkinNovember 24, 2016Don't worry if you arrive too early before departure. This station is well equipped with many shops and eateries.
MadaMarch 3, 2023The most important station in England and you can go to France, Netherlands and Belgium through it. It has many shop and restaurants
Want something better to eat on your departing journey? Many of the food outlets at St Pancras Station offer a click and collect takeaway service, order from a few minutes to several days in advance.
Sebastian Gisbert-MadziarJuly 27, 2013A great station with lots of venues and ways to pass the time. The free wifi all over the station is something all stations should have! Love it!
The information desk sells Paris Metro/RER tickets (no expiration date) in packs of 10. Very useful if you have a tight connection with a station change in Paris.
Cary LawsonOctober 3, 2017Nice station BUT the stores are outside Eurostar check-in, so make sure to go to M&S, Fortnum & Mason beforehand. Salad vending machine empty, bread-only options at cafe, WH Smith. Handy £-€ exchange.- Looking for just a Paris travel card? Don't bother getting the "Paris Pass". Wait until you arrive in Gare du Nord, and purchase a "Mobilis" card from an automated ticket machine in full english.
Great for dining and shopping. Give yourself time for check-in during weekends - it can be chaos!
MJ LeeJune 14, 2022The system punishes people who arrive early as instructed on the ticket. They put you in a 40-minute long wait line instead of check in early. My family disapproves of this station.- Smart City ApartmentsJuly 25, 2014We love the architecture at this station, its our local commute every day and always makes us smile when we walk through it
sophia kousiakisJuly 16, 2012If your trip is in the am, get here around 6 and you'll miss long cafe queues starting 630. Toasted ham and cheese better than the meatball sandwich
Martin BroadhurstFebruary 20, 2012Head to the The Undercroft Bar if you struggle to get a seat. Two coffees will cost you around £4.30 and you will be able to get a rest while you wait for the Eurostar.
Jamie LDecember 16, 2015As there are some old tips saying you can't take hot drinks through, just to re-affirm you now can. They even stick it in a cup holder through the scanner.
Bijan YoungJanuary 19, 2015Fun architecture though not enough to take your mind of Eurostar lines which can be long at certain times. Free wifi.
Joybolicious6 days agoQuite busy. Good luck finding a place to sit. Get there at least 45m to 1hr before departure. Gates close 30m prior. There’s a pret if you fancy a snack to take on the train
Hana NaSeptember 15, 2012Make sure to get here around an hour before your departure! You have to check in and get your bags scanned before your gate. I almost didn't make it! =X
Business TravellerAugust 24, 2010The Barlow train shed (designed by William Barlow in 1863) for many years held the record for the largest enclosed man-made space in the world Read more
Great station, real sense of adventure departing from here.
Tammy GordonMay 28, 2012Gorgeous architecture, modern train station, shops, restaurants and free wifi. If you have time, pop into @TheGilbertScott for a cocktail.
Beautiful building. Much nicer experience than in Paris!
Take care at 18:00 there is a train for Paris AND also one for Brussels! most of the time sharing same boarding door... Double check if you are in the right train before discovering it at last second
Katrina S.October 13, 2014A few shops/cafes in the departure lounge. If picky, chose from the more diverse options in the station before checking in.
James ZimenoffAugust 7, 2014If departing early in the morning, it's advisable to eat before arriving. The places that are open are usually busy and crowded.
The Eurostar departure terminal is a small, packed cattle pen, very unpleasant. What makes it so galling is that it sits in a gigantic gorgeous train station. Also, no signal, no functioning wifi
Damien WilsonJuly 26, 2011When travelling between European countries with an unlocked smart-phone, pre-purchase a MAXROAM SIM card to enable trouble-free, inexpensive data use. On arrival, buy a local SIM card for better rates- Damien WilsonSeptember 25, 2013If you've sore feet or need a quick taste of true English culture, grab a beer and sit at the comfiest high-chairs @SourcedMarket
Athens Secrets Private GuideOctober 12, 2019As long as you allow lots and lots of time to pass through, this station is ok. International gate staff are very unfriendly, all the barriers unnecessary and passport control queue seemingly endless
DuyguApril 1, 2012If you're travelling on Sunday, be prepared for long queues at the check-in/security area (approx. 20 mins). (something must be done about this..)
Erwin BurgosJune 17, 2019It’s a huge place filled with restaurants and shops. There are many railway companies spread around this large complex. Badly situated signs will not help much. Ask your way around.
Jeanette MaylandOctober 28, 2022Go check who’s playing the piano. It’s almost always in use and the music is just mesmerising 🤗
SunilOctober 30, 2011Be ready to go through an airport style security check, don't hold up the line. Also have your passport and ticket ready.- Bijan YoungJanuary 19, 2015Good fun architecture - modern with old. Plenty of retail snd food outlets.
If you're an iPhone user, no need to print out your Eurostar ticket any more. Just download the ticket into the Passbook on your iPhone.
lresp CCIEFebruary 4, 2020If you arrive late for your trip, wait to change the ticket in the station, it was half the price than changing the ticket online.
