Hi guys I know this is next year and a long way off, but my and other half are already planning the getaway next Xmas and it just so happens that Xmas day will be when the Eurostar leaves London.

IME, the rail network is pretty much shut down for xmas; that said, things like the Stansted Express might run, so that might be worth looking into

That's what I thought. I guess the other option would be to get a hotel Xmas Eve then mooch about London for the day or see if there are any coaches running like national Express.

You should be able to look at what trains are running for Christmas Day this year, and use that as a good guide to what will be running next year.

I have checked the times for this Xmas and no services are running.
Yes the Euro is running, I checked with them directly, and Crystal are selling holidays for next Xmas already with the Eurostar option.

There are no rail servicves on Christmas Day. The network effectively shuts down from ealry on Christmas Eve to Boxing Day. Many routes are also suspended on Boxing Day as they use the time to carry out large projects that need consecutive days of no trains.
You will probably find that there are bargains to be had in hotels in London as generally people don't stay away.

Have a look at prices for this Christmas Eve and you'll see what I mean. £130 for the Hilton Euston. £98 for the Premier Inn St Pancras. Probably a better option than trying to get there on Christmas Day.
