With Eurostar to London by train: Since the completion of the high-speed line in England in 2007, Eurostar connects London and Paris & Brussels in just 2 hours and a few minutes – with 10 times less pollution and carbon dioxide emissions than by plane. St. Pancras International station in the center of London and famous for its Victorian neo-Gothic roof and facade had been fully renovated in 2007 and has replaced Waterloo station as the terminal for Eurostar.
