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.

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.
