Eurostar Map, Route & Stops

Stepping into the beautifully restored St Pancras with its soaring glass roof makes for an impressive start. Within moments, you’re gliding out of central London, leaving behind Victorian architecture and entering the rhythm of the HS1.

As the train moves into Kent, you’ll notice the countryside flashing by, fields merging into open stretches, and the pace picking up while you settle in.

Once you leave London behind, the route skirts estuaries and wetlands near the coast, offering a brief glimpse of the sea and marshland before diving into the iconic sea-tunnel part of the journey.

One of the most thrilling segments of your journey is when you go under the English Channel through the famed Channel Tunnel. You won’t see much, but the magnitude of this engineering feat adds a memorable boost to the ride.

Emerging in France, the view shifts to flat farmland, old stone villages, harvested fields, and gentle tree lines rolling past your window while you relax in your seat.

On the longer French high-speed stretch, you’ll spot charming rural communities, classic church spires rising above stone roofs, and winding lanes that tell of slower-paced French life beyond your window.

As you near Paris, the open fields give way to the fringe of urban life, train yards, rooftops, and then the full grandeur of the city. It’s a subtle build-up to your arrival in one of Europe’s great capitals.

Pulling into Gare du Nord places you right in the heart of Paris. This is a station with a historic façade, bustling concourses, and immediate access to the city’s cafés and Seine walks.
