Eurostar is the high-speed passenger train from London (St Pancras International station) to central Brussels (Midi station) via the Channel Tunnel. There are departures throughout the day, taking as little as 1 hour 51 minutes now that the UK high speed line is fully open from London to the Channel Tunnel. Eurostar trains travel at up to 186 mph (300 km/h) on the high speed lines, and Eurostar is now faster than flying from central London to central Brussels, as well as more comfortable, more convenient and more reliable.

Northern Ireland - Across The Line. My kind of town: Belfast. Unlike New York or London, we are a city that sleeps. Belfast wakes up at 8am and goes back to sleep again at about 1am. We are well rested, which means we have no excuse not to party. In the morning we usually find ourselves, fuzzy-eyed in our fave coffee shop (for us it has to be Sinnamon on Botanic Avenue) armed with the latest copy of our local music mag, Alternative Ulster, and faced with a problem: what are we going to do tonight? If nothing catches our eye in AU, we turn to the internet, hit up BBC Across The Line and head straight to their amazing gig guide. Lunchtime means one thing, Boojum (Botanic Avenue, boojummex.com) is a highly addictive, surprisingly healthy Mexican burrito bar and has easily the best food in Belfast. If you fancy hitting the shops, Victoria Square and Castlecourt shopping centres have more than 100 stores between them. When night falls, there are a handful of places to unleash the party beast.
Northern Ireland - Across The Line. Towpath - Haggerston N1 - Restaurant Review. Time Out says Posted: Thu Oct 18 2012 This simple operation on Regent’s Canal towpath (near the Whitmore Bridge) was a novelty when it opened in 2010 in three shallow units.
Three years later, it has expanded into four units, and continues to lure in passing walkers and cyclists with its original setting and enticing food and drink. Wing a table in the sunshine on a summer’s day, and you might end up staying for hours. Relaxed entertainment is provided by families of swans, coots tending their nests, and passing bikes whizzing by.

The food may not be much more than reasonably above-average caff grub, but the atmosphere and decor are second to none. Opened in 1900, and still in the hands of the same family, Pellicci’s is an east London landmark. It has an almost opulent feel, harking back to a time when caff culture was king. Chrome-lined Vitrolite panels line the outside, and the wood-panelled interior is filled with Formica tables and art deco touches.
Food is still prepared with pride every day by Mama Maria – queen of the kitchen since 1961. Steven Berkoff at E.Pellicci. Steven Berkoff had a sausage and salad roll and I had a bacon sandwich, which we ate sitting at a table under the canopy outside E.Pellicci, while relishing the ceaseless parade of life along the Bethnal Green Rd.
No-one noticed I was sitting there with one of the greatest Bond villains of all time, Orlov from “Octopussy,” although Maria Pellicci herself left the kitchen and came outside to welcome the honoured guest, who was friend of her late husband Nevio. While Steven’s reputation on stage and film is built upon energetic performances, we enjoyed a relaxed conversation illuminated just occasionally by flashes of Steven’s characteristic brilliance with language.
Meeting Steven, I was excited to be in the presence of one of the great actor-managers, in the line of Henry Irving and David Garrick. Born in the East End, Steven was evacuated as a baby, returning after the war at ten years old to grow up in Anthony St, off Commercial St. All that remains of Anthony St where Steven grew up.
