Have dinner here

Make sure you enjoy the day fully, take your time, but do not forget your return train time. Come back to London with a smile! When your colleagues ask on Monday “so how was your week end?” do not hesitate to throw every single details in to make them jealous.

£100 per person should be enough to enjoy the day unless you do some shopping in Carrefour (Wine). Check out the previous post to see more links.

Book you Eurostar ticket in advance and it should cost £69.00 return pp.
