How long does it take to drive from London England to Paris France?

Answer 1

Depends where in England to where in France.

London to Paris by Eurostar high speed train takes 2 hours 15 minutes.

Taking your car though the Channel Tunnel, is about 25-35 minutes. Including loading, unloading etc. it is nearer an hour. By ferry it would take 2.5 hours including loading and unloading.

Answer 2

Driving from London to ParisThe full answer, of course, is, 'In What?' - one would need an amphibious vehicle. The car has to go on a train (through the tunnel) or a boat. So, although 213 miles is about right, there are 3 imponderable:

1) getting out of London - this can take 1-3 hours depending on starting point and time of day.

2) getting cross-channel transport. the tunnel is quickest, especially with advance booking; but allow an hour and a half.

3) getting into Paris. Again, 1-3 hours depending on time of day and destination.

If you drive, allow 8 hours.

That way, you can take the train direct from London to Paris and save all the hassle, and be properly equipped for driving in France.
