Eurostar fares from London to Paris, Brussels, Amsterdam, Rotterdam and Lille start at £39 one way for travel between 21 October 2026 and 31 January 2027. The fare is based on a return trip in Standard, so the cheapest return is £78.
We checked the London to Paris fare calendar on 9 October. You could go out on Monday 9 November for £39 and come back on Tuesday 10 November for £39. A longer December trip also worked at £78: out on Friday 11 December, back on Tuesday 15 December.
What’s on offer
The £39 fare covers all five of Eurostar’s routes from London St Pancras:
- London St Pancras to Paris Gare du Nord: from £39 one way
- London St Pancras to Brussels-Midi: from £39 one way
- London St Pancras to Amsterdam Centraal: from £39 one way
- London St Pancras to Rotterdam Centraal: from £39 one way
- London St Pancras to Lille: from £39 one way
On 9 October, London to Paris had £39 outbound seats on 9 and 24 November and 1, 11 and 12 December. Paris to London had £39 seats on 10 and 14 November and 1, 2, 8, 9, 10 and 15 December.
This is Eurostar’s standard lowest-fare pricing, not a promo code. Its named sale has ended. The £39 seats are a limited allocation on each train, and Eurostar’s terms say blackout dates may apply.
Is it good value?
Yes, if you can be flexible. A £78 return takes you from central London to central Paris, Brussels or Amsterdam with no airport transfer at either end, and your luggage is included in the fare.
Christmas week costs far more. London to Paris ran from £110 to £150 between 20 and 27 December, and Saturday 5, Sunday 6 and Sunday 13 December were all £95. Early-week trains and the first half of December gave the most £39 dates.
If your dates have gone: Eurostar Snap
Eurostar Snap sells last-minute Standard seats for up to 50% off the public price seven days before departure. You choose the route and date, and Eurostar picks the train and emails your time at least 48 hours before you travel.
The catch is firm. Snap tickets cannot be exchanged, refunded, transferred or cancelled, and they are for passengers aged 16 and over. Snap runs between London and Paris, Brussels, Lille, Amsterdam and Rotterdam, and between Paris and Brussels, Amsterdam, Rotterdam and Cologne.
How to book
Go to Eurostar’s lowest-fare finder and pick Paris, Amsterdam, Brussels, Rotterdam or Lille. Leave the journey type on Return and use the two calendars to spot the £39 dates in each direction. Check the return leg before you settle on the cheapest outbound day, because the £39 dates rarely line up.
Before you travel, the FCDO’s France entry requirements page sets out the passport rules for UK travellers.
