How the London–Brussels Eurostar actually runs

Eurostar is the through train from London St Pancras to Bruxelles-Midi / Brussel-Zuid. Glance on this page lists fastest 1h 58m, typical about 2h, with about 8–12 trains a day and a first/last pattern around 06:00 and 20:00. The facts card's journey time is about 2h 01m — same Channel Tunnel product as Paris, different Belgian terminal.

Fares already printed here start from about €39, typical €49–€120 in the glance band, with Eurostar's two-bags-plus-hand-luggage rule. The card still says book by 6 months ahead. Lowest Standard seats sell out first when the booking window opens — that glance tip is already on this URL. Walk-up is usually higher; confirm the day's fare in search.

Passport control is completed at the station before boarding, as this page's FAQ states (St Pancras or Brussels Midi). Gates are not a last-second dash. Midi is the arrival, not Brussels-Central or Nord — the same station mix-up this site flags on Amsterdam–Brussels.

Hub-up already points at the London–Brussels Cost guide and the Eurostar hub. Keep those for peak versus off-peak Channel Tunnel pricing; this Book Live page is the St Pancras search and All Aboard checkout.
