Both London and Rotterdam have excellent railway connections, making train travel an efficient and hassle-free option. Train stations in both cities are centrally located, ensuring easy access to popular attractions and accommodations. Traveling to both venues from St Pancras and Rotterdam Centraal is also very easy. Next to that traveling by train is often a time-saving choice, especially when considering airport security, check-in procedures, and travel to and from distant airports, and more environmental friendly.
You can easily take the Eurostar from Amsterdam, Brussels, or Paris to London. Depending on your starting point in Germany, you can take a train to Brussels, Belgium or Paris, France. Major cities in Germany like Berlin, Frankfurt, or Cologne have direct train connections to these destinations. Rotterdam is very accessible by train from London with the Eurostar, and with the Thalys from Paris or Belgium.
All in all, if the option is there to travel by train it is highly recommended! Train stations are usually closer to city centers, reducing travel time and allowing you to make the most of your time. Train tickets can also be more cost-effective compared to airfare, making it a budget-friendly option for travelers. Train travel is a more sustainable choice compared to air travel.
