Train from Bologna to London

It's a ten minute walk from Gare de Bercy to Gare de LyonGare de Bercy to Gare du Nord. Walk 600m to Gare de Lyon (or a go to the nearby Bercy metro station and take the metro line 14 one stop to Gare de Lyon signposted 'direction Saint-Lazare') then at Gare de Lyon take the RER ligne D to Gare du Nord (which will be signposted 'direction Creil' or 'direction Orry la Ville Coye'). It's just 2 stops from Gare de Lyon to Gare du Nord and takes a little over 10 minutes, but we recommended you allow at least 50 minutes for the entire transfer and don't forget the 30-minute check-in for Eurostar.

Welcome to London. St Pancras International now has lots of lovely shops, restaurants and gastro pubs... and free wifi throughout the station. If you're planning to stay in the capital, there are over 60 hotels within a one mile radius of St Pancras (by the way, the new spectacular St Pancras Midland Grand Hotel - a 5-star Marriott hotel - has now opened!).

From St Pancras, there are mainline rail connections to Derby, Leicester, Nottingham, Sheffield, as well as First Capital Connect trains on the cross-London Thameslink route which continues north as far as Bedford or south to Gatwick Airport and Brighton.

Across the street is Kings Cross station, which has rail connections to the north of England and Scotland, and it's a 15-minute walk (in the opposite direction, heading west) to Euston Station for connections to the West Midlands, the West Coast (including Birmingham, Liverpool and Manchester) and Glasgow (including the Scotrail sleeper service).
