Practical Information for Eurostar Travelers

Eurostar luggage rules on Paris to London trains are based on item size and ticket class. Passengers carry and store their own bags on board.

Luggage Allowance

Standard and Plus passengers may bring 2 pieces of luggage up to 85 cm long plus 1 small hand item. Premier passengers may bring 3 pieces up to 85 cm long plus 1 small hand item. Eurostar does not set a formal weight limit, but passengers must be able to lift and carry their own bags.

Storage Facilities

Eurostar trains have luggage racks near the carriage entrances and overhead shelves above seats for smaller bags. Large cases should be placed in the end-of-car racks soon after boarding, as space can fill on busy Paris to London departures.

Special Items

Folded or boxed bicycles may be accepted if they meet Eurostar size rules; fully assembled bicycles require Eurostar's registered luggage service where available. Skis, golf bags, and musical instruments count toward the luggage allowance unless a separate seat or special arrangement is required.

Eurostar links Paris Gare du Nord and London St Pancras in about 2 hours 17 minutes, with both stations connected to dense urban transit networks. Buses between Paris and London usually take 8 to 10 hours because of motorway distance, border procedures, and the Channel crossing. Flights between Paris and London have short airborne times, but airport transfers, security, boarding, and arrival procedures often bring total city-center travel close to the train time. Rail also produces lower carbon emissions than flying on this corridor.

Plus, it’s a greener choice, reducing your carbon footprint
