Train trips from Frankfurt to London

Working out your travel plans from Frankfurt to London? Consider taking the train instead of hopping on the plane. You can reach London from Frankfurt in over six hours with one change. The perks? You’ll be transported from the centre of one city to the heart of the other. There’s no need to trek to airports on the outskirts of the city, and you can simply sink into comfy seats and enjoy the countryside views along the way. Plus you’ll get to say you’ve been on an underwater train as the Eurostar crosses through the Channel Tunnel into the UK.

Hop off at London St. Pancras and you’re just a short stroll from plenty of bars and restaurants in the lively Kings Cross area. From here, you can get many London underground lines or frequent bus service for city-wide exploration.

How do I find cheap train tickets from Frankfurt (Main) to London?

The price of train tickets from Frankfurt (Main) to London starts at $115.82 one-way for a Standard Class ticket if you book in advance. Booking on the day is usually more expensive and costs can vary depending on the time of day, route or class.

1. Book in advance

Most of the train companies across Europe release their tickets around three to six months in advance, many of which can be cheaper the earlier you book. If you know the dates you want to travel, you may be able to find some cheaper train tickets from Frankfurt (Main) to London by booking early.§

2. Be flexible with your travel times

Many of the train services in Europe are also popular commuter services, lots of train companies increase ticket prices during “peak hours” (generally between 06:00 – 10:00 and 15:00 – 19:00 on weekdays). If you can, consider travelling outside of peak hours to find lower priced tickets.

3. Choose a slower or connecting train

On some of the busier routes, you might also have the option to take a slower or connecting train. It may take a little longer than some high-speed or direct services, but if you have a little extra time on your hands, you might find a cheaper fare. Plus, you'll have more time to enjoy the view of the countryside!

4. Look out for special deals

Take a look at our handy guides to find out when train operators release their special deals and offers to see if you can find cheap European train tickets for your journey.

For specific information about how to get your hands on cheap tickets, check out our European train tickets hub.

§Some train companies may not offer any Advance ticket types or cheaper deals for early bookings. On rare occasions, train companies may choose to release special offers closer to the date on last-minute or late-release tickets. This is dependent on the individual train operating company you travel with.
