After arriving by Eurostar at St Pancras International, you can choose a London taxi or a private hire vehicle booked through a licensed operator. Availability, luggage and your journey requirements will help determine the most suitable option.
Black cabs: taxi ranks, street hails and reservations
London taxis, often called black cabs, can accept passengers at official ranks or be hailed when available. They can also be booked. At the station, follow signs to the taxi rank and allow for a possible wait. Fares follow the applicable taxi rules; check the terms before departure.
Minicabs require advance booking
A minicab must be booked through a Transport for London licensed operator. It cannot accept street hails or use taxi ranks. The booking confirmation should let you check the driver and vehicle before getting in.
Ask for an agreed fixed fare or an accurate estimate, together with waiting-time terms. A minicab is not automatically cheaper or more luxurious than a taxi: compare the actual service. Read the official Transport for London guide.
Arrange your St Pancras meeting point
Provide your train number, arrival time and a reachable phone number. Request a clear meeting point that you can reach with your luggage. Explain accessibility or child-seat requirements so the operator can confirm a suitable arrangement.
Allow time to leave the train, reach the meeting point and travel through London. Driving times vary by neighborhood and time of day.
Plan the Paris part of your journey
Your transfer to or from Gare du Nord in Paris is a separate service. First Class Partner can arrange it by reservation, with a vehicle suited to your passengers and luggage. For a departing Eurostar, follow the station arrival time required on your ticket.
