The smart St Pancras International – with excellent shopping – makes travelling by train even more appealing. Now you can get your journey off to a very good start at the new Fortnum’s bar and restaurant. Sit up at the high stools for a champagne cocktail, or settle in for breakfast or their classic Afternoon Tea with finger sandwiches, scones and cakes. There’s also a Fortnum’s shop where you could pick up a hamper or some goodies for the journey. Booking is now open for this summer’s direct trains to the South of France that run from 22 May to 7 September (the rest of the year you have to change in Paris). As if we needed another excuse to book…
