Higher demand in August eurostar from london to paris

During August, Eurostar has seen double the amount of bookings, and has added 39 trains for travel between the UK and the continent this month alone. The busiest days for travel are between 27th and 30th August, with Paris the most popular destination from the UK as travellers seize the opportunity to enjoy a summer on the Seine.

Since the easing of travel restrictions by the UK government in August, the high-speed rail operator is seeing the gradual return of the weekend break, with a 105% rise in August and September weekend trips between London and Paris compared to the same period last year and 83% of bookings attributed to leisure travel or visiting friends and family.

Updated timetable from September
From 6 September until 1 November, eight daily return services will operate, with five in each direction on the London to Paris route and three in each direction between London and Brussels, with one each way extended to Rotterdam and Amsterdam. The expanded timetable offers improved flexibility to both business and leisure travellers with great value fares from £39 each way.

All travellers must wear a mask on board and in stations, this continues to apply after check-in in London St Pancras.

Eurostar offers the most environmentally friendly choice for travel to Europe, with each journey using up to 93% less CO2 than the equivalent flight.
