16 Days Europe Vacation Package Day 14 Paris - London

16 Days Europe Tour – White Christmas Day 14 Paris – London


Pullman Paris Bercy Hotel, Paris

This morning, after a quick breakfast in Pullman Bercy, Paris, we made our way to the Paris Nord (or Gare Du Nord) Eurostar station for our 3 hours journey to London St Pancras International.

Paris Gare du Nord Station built between 1861 and 1864

Holiday Travel Tips:-
As Eurostar has very limited luggage storage space for big and heavy baggage, we were glad to have listened to our tour manager to make use of the porter service at the station even though there was a charge of 5 GBP per way for the service. So if you wish to have a more comfortable ride, it is best to have the porter handle your luggage.

After arriving in London’s city centre via Eurostar, our tour manager from Chan Brothers brought us to see the 9 ¾ platform at King's Cross station which was made famous in JK Rowling's book and where one of Harry Porter’s scene was filmed.

Great photo opportunity for Harry Potter's fans


We then proceeded to New Loon Fung Restaurant in Chinatown for a dim sum lunch before going on a city tour of London.

Below are some pictures of the food that we had in New Loon Fung Restaurant in London.  Overall not too bad.

We then took a walk to Westfields and had a leisurely and most wonderful dinner at LPDJ, short for Le Palais du Jardin.  When dinner was over, we shopped for awhile before going back to the hotel for an early night.

Dramatic scenery and historic cities, world renowned culture and colourful nightlife all combined to make a visit to Central Europe a journey of discovery. We love our wonderful Europe holiday which brought to our senses unforgettable scenery and natural beauty, rich culture and heritage.
