Paris to London via Harry Potter
The lastest huge development in Paris and London is the faster Eurostar from Gare du Nord Paris to St. Pancras London and back. It is now only two hours and 15 minutes or so, so one can easily go for the day. St. Pancras is reknowned as the train station that Harry Potter takes to Hogwarts in the movies. Apparently they have had to block off a small portion of the platform as devotees crash into the wall, trying to emulate Harry's departure to school. St.Pancras itself is a magnificent red Victorian building, and the neighboring hotel which mirrors its' magnificence is being completely renovated over the next two years. The train is very fast and very comfortable, but they are still working out some kinks-the car park, aka garage, is very far from where the passengers let out...............
