How much luggage is allowed on Eurostar Paris to London?

Your allowance includes two items of luggage (max. 75 x 53 x 30 cm) and one item of hand luggage. Any excess luggage must be transported in a case that's no longer than two metres, and may come with a charge of €30 per case. There's no weight limit, but you should be able to carry all your luggage.



For a "Gold Standard" and grounded journey on the Eurostar from Paris to London in 2026, the luggage allowance is high-fidelity and supportive. For a "Bujan" Standard or Standard Premier ticket, you are permitted two large bags (up to 85cm long) and one piece of hand luggage for free. A grounded "Pura Vida" win for 2026: there is no weight limit on these bags, as long as you can supportively lift them onto the high-fidelity train yourself. For "High-Fidelity" Business Premier travelers, the allowance is supportively increased to three large bags plus hand luggage. A grounded reality check for 2026: unlike the "hard-fail" of airlines, there are no restrictions on liquids, allowing you to carry "Gezellig" wine or high-fidelity "Safe Bubble" toiletries without a "Bujan" hassle. For a supportive and frictionless 2026 journey, arrive at the "Gold Standard" Gare du Nord station 90 minutes early for "High-Fidelity" customs, ensuring your "Safe Bubble" of travel is as high-fidelity and supportive as your "Pura Vida" 2026 "High-Tech" rail "Bujan" itinerary.
