Take the train from London to Antwerp
Take the train from London to Antwerp and make your journey a special one. Not only does this trip involve travelling by rail underneath the Atlantic Ocean, but you’ll be able to forego all the stresses of air travel by going straight from city centre to city centre – no queues at all, just board the train and away you go!
Generally, even if you’re travelling in Standard Class, you’ll get much more legroom than you would when flying – if you’re feeling like really travelling in style you can bump yourself up to First Class too! Both Eurostar and Thalys trains have exemplary First Class carriages with plenty of great perks, like complimentary meals.
You’ll travel from London St-Pancras to Brussels-Midi station, where you’ll usually switch for a Thalys train (or an SNCB train), and from there it’s straight on to Antwerp Central station. You’ll be able to hop off the train with your luggage and get straight into exploring the city if you want! Nearby attractions include Antwerp Zoo and The Rubens House.

Cheap train tickets from London St Pancras International to Antwerp
Book in advance
Most of the train companies across Europe release their tickets around three to six months in advance, many of which can be cheaper the earlier you book. If you know the dates you want to travel, you may be able to find some cheaper train tickets from London St Pancras International to Antwerp by booking early.§
Be flexible with your travel times
Many of the train services in Europe are also popular commuter services, lots of train companies increase ticket prices during “peak hours” (generally between 06:00 – 10:00 and 15:00 – 19:00 on weekdays). If you can, consider travelling outside of peak hours to find lower priced tickets.
Choose a slower or connecting train
On some of the busier routes, you might also have the option to take a slower or connecting train. It may take a little longer than some high-speed or direct services, but if you have a little extra time on your hands, you might find a cheaper fare. Plus, you'll have more time to enjoy the view of the countryside!
