Now I will tell you how to reach this wonderful city. There is lots of traveling option available to reach this city. The best traveling option to travel from London to Lyon is Eurostar Train. Eurostar train is known as fastest, convenient, and comfortable and stress free modes of transport in Europe. One thing I like about Eurostar train is short check in process as compare to the check in process in flights. Even you can catch the pictures of breathtaking beauty of countryside while traveling through Eurostar.
You simply need to take Eurostar train from London's St Pancras International train station and reach Lille in record time of 1hr 20min and then simply same station change, travel on to high-speed TGV to Lyon.
Your whole journey will take around 4hr 30 minutes. Of course, Eurostar fare starts from 61 one-way or 109 return 2nd class to reach this city.
