Planning to see Belgium beyond Brussels? Eurostar is launching its first direct London to Antwerp service this winter.
From 14 December, the high-speed rail service will operate four scheduled direct services from London St. Pancras to the Belgian port city daily.
Eurostar already connects Londoners to Belgium via its Brussels-bound route, with travellers keen to explore beyond the capital into a city like Antwerp having to alight at Brussels-Midi/Zuid to catch a SNCB train to Antwerpen-Centraal.
This current journey takes around 3 hours and 15 minutes. The new direct service will cut travel time to just 2 hours and 41 minutes.
However, there are currently no plans to introduce direct return routes.
