Are there metal detectors at Eurostar?

Getting on the train is a bit like an airport. There's security checks and metal detectors as well as U.K. and French border control. I would recommend arriving at least an hour in advance, so you can do all that. Also make sure you don't wear any metal jewellery, belts or zippers before going on (more tips here).

Please make sure that you don't go over the luggage allowance and that you don't bring anything which is prohibited. There are no weight restrictions, as long as you can safely lift and carry your luggage by yourself. If you have a pacemaker, please inform the security team before going through the metal detector.
