Doable for short time, but you also have to get to and from the Eurostar train stations. For me it would be 2 hours just to get to Paddington...

But if you have an office close to Gare du Nord and a flat close to Paddington or opposite then it is workable. And one train journey commute without changing trains is enjoyable. (ie sleepable/workable)

The Eurostar is in St Pancras, not Paddington.

Doh, that is what I meant, no idea why I kept saying Paddington. Still upset it is not at Waterloo any more. That would have made it more attractive option for me.

Will have to endure that train, tube, another tube or walk, then eurostar with all the kids & luggage entourage for a Disneyland Paris trip in a few months.
