Hi, I am looking for a train from London - Paris Nord on 26th Dec, but unable to reserve a seat. May I ask if there are other ways I can reserve a seat on Eurostar or alternative routes I can take. 

Would it be possible for me to reach London and book it via the train station on 23rd Dec? Would they still have available tickets to reserve under Eurail? 

Many thanks!

Only direct availability to Paris on 26 Dec is 1st class on 20.01 departure.

There is still availability on multiple trains 1st and 2nd class London to Lille Europe. From Lille you can change to French train to Paris from Lille Europe or Lille Flanders which is a 10 minute walk.

Only book 1st class reservation if you have a 1st class pass.
