Once in the terminal for Paris departure, we found refuge at a few basic seats. They offer two cafes and a clean bathroom. The train arrived on time with quick boarding. The lower large luggage area on the train is limited on a first come first serve basis, although has higher shelving available. The ride was great without any issues with clean bathrooms. They offer a Eurostar Cafe onboard where we ordered water and chips. The cashier was friendly and offered us French mini chocolates, which we graciously took. At the cafe we purchased subway passes for Paris called Navigo. Much easier process than flying.

The seats looked fine and I didn't think anything of it, but when I got the confirmation email, they booked my tickets for the next day. I called Trainline and the customer service person was rude and unhelpful. He said the tickets were non-refundable and they would not be able to fix the issue for me. My trip is 3 months out and all they would have had to do is switch the date to one day earlier. I will not book with them again.

The customer service keeps insisting there is no room for error in their system, which is impossible and clearly not true and ask for screenshots. Why would I take a screen shot of a booking? I didn't think I'd be asking for a refund. No I know to never use train line again to book tickets. why would I book two tickets for the same person on the same trains!? their system changed the names twice. absolute scam.

Our driver was there with a smile and a sign with our name on it. What a welcome sight after 12 hours of travel time! Our driver was so friendly. He told jokes most of the way to our Heathrow connection, and kept us very amused. He also had the car stocked with waters & CANDY! Kids thought he was the best driver ever. The company was professional. I arranged everything over the internet, pre-paid the fare and it all went as planned. No complaints. We haven't always had good luck with transportation companies, seems like they're never where they should be. This place is fantastic - highly recommend.

Overview: a beautiful station, very big and can be confusing, many stores and food options…read more ---- I stayed a hostel 5 minutes away by walking and this station was so convenient. The architecture was so beautiful at any time of the day. The inside being quite beautiful as well, especially when you walk upstairs overlooking the Eurostar trains and see a couple different statues there. My favorite was the large one of the couple embracing. Platform 9 3/4 is located in this station, for Harry Potter fans, the cart is available during the day to take a picture with for a price, but after hours they remove it and you can still take pics and videos with it! During my stay they had free ice cream outside the station that was super yummy and a nice little treat to have before heading out in my way to the trains. Inside the station are lots of places to eat and has cheap, convenient food spots like Greggs, and nicer sit-down places as well. It can be a bit tough navigating through the station because it's so big (especially when using maps and trying to find places like restaurants inside of the station) but for the train areas just follow the signs and it's pretty self explanatory. They even have a piano for people to play for fun which was cool to see and hear. Scanning in and out of the station is also easy because all you need is a credit/debit card and you don't even need to purchase a ticket which is so much more convenient compared to places in the US or France. ---- Overall: a great station to stay near and to go to, easy-ish to navigate and lots of places to eat at, very beautiful station as well

It also seems that they used a link on Viator; however, booking directly on the website seemed cheaper. + Communication was clear and well laid out on where to meet the drivers. They were especially helpful during an issue that arose when arriving at Heathrow and the driver having issues meeting us at the assigned meeting point due to increased activity at the airport (apparently it was a popular bank holiday I chose to travel on) +Cars/vans used were clean and as advertised +Drivers arrived on time and were friendly + Price - Honestly, it was relatively reasonable, especially given the fact it provided for a smooth travel day for my traveling companion who would have issues on the Tube/trains even without luggage Tips: + When making your booking, make sure you set your pick time for an hour and a half after scheduled arrival time to provide a buffer time to make it through customs and retrieve your luggage if flying internationally. +Make sure to be honest about your luggage that you are traveling with and abide by their rules, especially on shared rides. I would use their services again if I find myself needing them.

"My life is brilliant…read more.. My life is brilliant My love is pure I saw an angel Of that I'm sure She smiled at me on the subway She was with another man But I won't lose no sleep on that 'Cause I've got a plan..." Almost a carbon copy to my London Underground review written a year ago. And with James Blunt crooning you know it's a romantic tragedy waiting to happen... "Yes, she caught my eye As we walked on by She could see from my face that I was F-high And I don't think that I'll see her again But we shared a moment that will last 'til the end" Piccadilly Circus stop on the Piccadilly Line is part of the London Underground railway system that has been serving Londoners since 1890! And really with train lineage that dates to 1863! One can only imagine a young Jack the Ripper roaming the stations late at night... Piccadilly Circus stop is my usual stop when I'm staying in SOHO but I promise I'm not Jack lol! A convenient location, really... in the heart of London with the Theatre District a stones throw away and iconic Carnaby street within a stroll. Boots is the convenience store or Primark if you're into souvenir tees and socks. British Pubs a plenty too! Piccadilly Circus stop is also where I met my soul mate... pretty English-ish lady with Twiggy lashes and angelic Bardot lips. We made eye contact and... "You're beautiful You're beautiful You're beautiful, it's true I saw your face in a crowded place And I don't know what to do 'Cause I'll never be with you..." And no romantic tragedy here:) The end. "My life is brilliant... My life is brilliant My love is pure I saw an angel Of that I'm sure She smiled at me on the subway..." Ta! Ta!

Decent service running from Heathrow to, uh, Cockfosters. I know, I'm older than middle school, but…read moreit still amuses me to hear it repeated. Helpfully, the cars have a designated area for luggage storage. Just don't let your own luggage get out of your sight. The Piccadilly line splits at Acton Town, heading to the North for Uxbridge and slightly more South for Heathrow, which also splits at Hatton Cross with one line going to terminals 1-2-3 and then 5, and the other going to terminal 4 before returning to 1-2-3. This can be a bit confusing for the tourists who might have some trouble with English, let alone the mumbled version of the train drivers. In addition to Heathrow, the line also stops at King's Cross / St. Pancras for the Eurostar train to Paris. This makes it the most "touristy" of the Tube lines, so expect people to ask where "Lie-chest-er" Square is (it's "less-tuh"!). This is a very long tube line, completely crossing from the northeast of London to the west/southwest. It takes about an hour and a half to go from one end to the other. Still, it's extremely useful even as the cars fill to the brim between Holborn and Earl's Court and again from Hammersmith to Heathrow.

It turns out that Angel station is actually named after a nearby pub. I know, surprising. It's now…read morea bank, but in it's day the Angel was the first coach stop outside of London. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angel,_London for some of the juicy details. I was here because today, it's a Tube station and I kinda wanted to go home. I'm funny that way. The station is extremely deep with a very long escalator from the ticket hall down to the platform level. The usual ticket barricades and Oyster readers are there, with a staffed ticket booth. The station is in Travelcard Zone 1, between Old Street and Kings Cross on the Bank branch of the Northern Line. The southbound platform is extremely wide and dates back to when there was only a central island between the northbound and southbound lines. I wish more stations were like this - I hate having to walk around the muppets and be right at the edge of the platform!
