Try checking www.eurostar.com

If you have more specific questions, come back and I%26#39;m sure you will get the info you need.

As far as the %26quot;best%26quot; way to travel to London, how do you define %26quot;best?%26quot; Cheapest way? Fastest way?

It%26#39;s definitely the fastest way. And it can be very inexpensive and it%26#39;s quite simple. You purchase your tickets on-line. The schedule is on the website that SoundDiva mentions, Eurostar.com. You%26#39;ll get a confirmation with a number. You print the tickets at Gare du Nord in Paris, where you depart from. You get on the train and hop off when it stops at St. Pancras station in London. Be sure to have a London map with you; you%26#39;ll want it when you get to London.

Depends on your purpose and destination in or around London. If to spend a day or few in London...then the EUROSTAR high-speed train connection from PARIS-Gare du Nord to LONDON-Saint Pancras (approx 2:30-45 hrs) is going to to be your best bet---city-center-to-city-center...but to find the lowest EUROSTAR fares, you will need to pre-book well in advance of your proposed travel date(s) (up to 120 days prior..including the return if for a round-trip). If only for a one-way, PARIS-LONDON, it%26#39;s also worth checking fares for round-trip itineraries with a ficticious London-Paris return date...tossing away the return portion of the ticket. Often times round-trip fares are lower than one-way.

Check fares %26amp; schedules throough both--

EUROSTAR--

**IF** this will be a first visit to the EUROSTAR web site, **DO NOT** select UNITED STATES as your country. If you do, the Eurostar site will place a %26#39;..cookie..%26#39; on your computer system and automatically re-direct you to the RAIL EUROPE web site every time you try to access Eurostar directly...until you remove the %26#39;cookie%26#39; from your system.

SNCF-French National Railways--

If your purpose in going from Paris to London is to make direct airline connection with an outbound flight from a London airport...then your best bet will probably be to search for LCC air carriers that flies directly from Paris to your London departure airport to make flight connections.
