You probably already know this, but as of today, Eurostar is the only train company connecting France and Belgium to the United Kingdom via the Channel Tunnel.
As for fares, I recommend booking at least a month and a half in advance if you want to find a round-trip ticket for under €100.
Another important point: since the United Kingdom is not part of the Schengen area, passport and security checks can take quite a bit of time. It’s recommended to arrive at least an hour before departure.
And the good news is that if you're a member of Club HOURRAIL!, you can enjoy an exclusive discount on your Eurostar tickets (25% off)!
