Eurostar sells three classes on its London routes — Standard (the everyday seat with Wi-Fi, power and a café bar on board), Plus (extra-spacious seat in a quieter coach with a light meal served) and Premier (lounge access, priority boarding, maximum flexibility and a chef-designed menu). All are priced as one-way fares: a return is simply two singles, so you can mix classes and dates freely.
When to book
Tickets are typically released up to around six months ahead, and the cheapest fare buckets sell first — so the golden rule is simply to book as early as your plans allow. Midweek and off-peak departures are consistently cheaper than Friday evenings and Sunday nights, and shifting a departure by an hour often saves real money.
Small print worth knowing
Children under 4 typically travel free without their own seat, with child fares for older kids — age bands vary by route, so check when booking. Booking direct at eurostar.com or in the Eurostar app avoids third-party fees, and the free Club Eurostar loyalty scheme earns points towards future journeys and upgrades. Cheaper Standard fares are the most restrictive on changes and refunds; Premier is built to be changed — always read the exchange terms on your specific fare.
Every Eurostar journey starts with reaching the station on time. Rushxo runs fixed-fare private hire across London and the UK, 24/7 — the quote is the fare, with no surge for early starts or late arrivals. Book a St Pancras transfer, WhatsApp us, or call 020 8888 9988.
