The world-famous statue of 'Manneken Pis' becomes the symbol of Brussel
For six years already a round trip to Brussels or Paris goes for only £69. And that includes free connections to Antwerp, Bruges, Ghent, Ostend and other citeis in Belgium.
How to make sure you can book the cheapest fare? Travel on the first train or the last train. Don’t come back on a Sunday. Just stay one more day. Retuning on Monday can be much cheaper, and much more enjoyable as well. Not a morning person? No problem, take the train late afternoon, and you’ll also be able to find the £69 fare to Belgium or France.

From Wednesday, 14 November 2007, Eurostar departs from London St Pancras, instead of London Waterloo. Because St Pancras International is served by a new high speed rail line, Eurostar journeys are cut by at least 20 minutes.
Passengers can also start their journey in Ebbsfleet International or Ashford International in Kent.
Go to Eurostar site to book your journey.
