Eurostar
The journey from London to Rotterdam by train takes just three hours, so air travel now plays second fiddle to rail on this important route. Eurostar launched a direct twice-daily London to Rotterdam service in April 2018, but there are plenty of additional options with just one easy change of train at either Lille Europe or Brussels Midi, in each case normally continuing to Rotterdam with a high-speed Thalys train (or, in the case of connections through Brussels, sometimes with an Intercity train).
London St. Pancras International to Rotterdam Centraal
Travelling by train from London to the Netherlands is a journey which takes in four countries: England, France, Belgium and the Netherlands.
The first part of the journey from London sweeps through Thamesside landscapes and rural Kent to reach the Channel Tunnel. Entering France at Calais, the rail route to Brussels then tracks east across Flanders to gain Belgian territory shortly after passing through Lille. All trains to Rotterdam stop at Brussels Midi before tracking north through Antwerp towards Rotterdam and Amsterdam.
The train from London stops at Rotterdam's Centraal Station, from where it is just a short tram ride south to the central district and the complex of museums and galleries around Museumpark.
