Every Eurostar currently starts and ends at St Pancras International, the restored Victorian terminus next to King's Cross. The Eurostar departure area sits on the ground floor of the main concourse, and all formalities — check-in, security, UK exit checks and EU entry checks including EES biometrics — happen before you board.

Timing

Plan to arrive at least 60–90 minutes before departure, more at peak times and holidays. Gates close shortly before the train leaves, and with biometric border checks now running, queues can stretch. A Rushxo driver sets you down kerbside as close to the Eurostar entrance as the station allows — and can meet arriving passengers the same way.

If you're early

No hardship here. Look up at the vast Barlow train shed roof, find the Betjeman statue and the famous Dent clock, browse the shops on the arcade, and if the trip deserves it, the concourse champagne bar claims to be Europe's longest. Step-free routes run throughout the station, and assistance for Eurostar passengers is bookable in advance.
