Travelling by train
If you’re travelling across Europe, another option is to take the Eurostar train into London. The Eurostar leaves Paris 12 times a day and takes 2.5 hours to get to its destination. You can also catch the Eurostar in Brussels.
Travelling by car
To get to the UK by car from France you can get the Eurotunnel to Dover and drive up to London. However, we don't recommend this option as it's quite pricey and getting around London by car is extremely expensive and stressful. Furthermore, if you're used to driving on the right-hand side. The UK roads might be a bit confusing since the British drive on the left-hand side.
