Free or cheap place to crash for a few hours around Waterloo Station and/or Eurostar?
Posted by Allen
Over spring break, first week of April, I’ll be traveling from L. A. to JFK in New York, then on to London, landing around noon London time. Then about 4pm I’ll take the Eurostar to Brussels. Is there ANYWHERE in Waterloo Station or the Eurostar terminal or even nearby where I can crash for just a few hours? I’d prefer not to pay for a hotel room. What I really need is just a place to doss for a little while until it’s time to catch my train. I just need to get over most of the jetlag and get on European time before I proceed. Any help at all would be most appreciated. Cheers and thanks, K
If you are scheduled to land at noon, and then take the Eurostar at 4pm, I don’t think you’ll have time to ‘crash’! Four hours seems barely adequate time to clear Customs and get from Heathrow to Central London, you’ll probably have enough time to grab a coffee!

The Eurostar Terminal is in Waterloo itself. If you land at noon then by the time you've collected your bags and passed immigration it'll be at least 1330/1400, then you'll need at least an hour to get from Heathrow to Waterloo – so 1500, then you'll need to check in at least half an hour prior to the Eurostar departure! Planning on finding time to sleep is a little ambitious but the Eurostar trains are comfortable enough..
