Eurostar opens a new station, Ebbsfleet International, on November 19.
It is located just off junction two, of the M25 near the Dartford Crossing, close to Bluewater shopping centre in north Kent - and it is the fastest way to travel to Europe.
Ebbsfleet International is part of High Speed 1, Britain's first new mainline for more than a century.
Eurostar trains travel at 186mph - that is 50 per cent faster than any other train in Britain and will slash journey times by at least 20 minutes.
Eurostar will carry you from Ebbsfleet to Paris in a mere two hours, five minutes, to Brussels a tiny one hour, 41 minutes, and to Lille a miniscule one hour, 10 minutes.
And Ebbsfleet International is closer to the M25 than any of London's airports and has 2,500 car-parking spaces.
