The train trip from from Amsterdam to London rivals air travel any day. Easter 2018 will also see the introduction of a direct service from London to Amsterdam which will make the whole trip shorter and much easier. At the moment the non direct route can take 5-7 hours hours depending on the trains you choose to travel with. 1. Amsterdam Centrall to Brussels Midi 2.Brussels Midi- London St Pancras 1. Amsterdam-Brussels  You can choose to travel with a high speed Thalys train direct on this route. This will have you in Brussels Midi in under 2 hours (1.51 hours). This train however can be quite expensive if not booked in advance. Unless I can find a deal with the Thalys train I usually take the regular cheaper regional train. This is a longer journey (2.50 hours) and sometimes can travel via Rotterdam (and possible Roosendaal and Antwerp too). Remember the station name Brussels Midi means Brussels South in English and it is called Brussels Zuid in Dutch. Don't get confus...
