Eurostar parking - help please!

Hi All,

After some help if possible - have just booked a trip on Eurostar to Disneyland Paris for mid-May. Any tips or help on the best place to leave the car in London for a stress free arrival to St.Pancras? We live in Newport, South Wales and Eurostar leaves at 08.53 in the morning!

Many thanks,

  • No - problems with transfers etc when we would get over there so not an option and not in our budget anyway.

    Just an idea but can you not get the train from Ashford International instead of London. It is a Eurotrain station and parking is totally easy and cheaper etc. Also would probably be same travelling time by car as having to go into London?

    Ashford is a good suggestion. So many streets in London are now business/residential permit holders,meters or time restricted. There are streets within a 10 minute walk of East Finchley underground station that is on the Northern Line( Kings Cross 10 minutes)that are not restricted. If interested send me a private email.

  • Also they have now opened the Ebbsfleet station, where there is always alot of parking spaces (I work round the corner) and you simply come off at junction 2 of the M25 and follow the signs for approx 5min from there and you've arrived. have a great trip.

    Unfortunately the 0853 doesn't call at Ebbsfleet - but it does call at Ashford, so that's a possibility

    The Eurostar home page has a link to car parking info - there is an NCP park at St Pancras which I expect will be expensive.
