Antwerp to London with a Pet: The Complete Return Journey Guide (2026)
Travelling from Antwerp to London with your dog or cat - the tapeworm window, Eurotunnel check-in, and arriving at Euston, St Pancras or your London door.
In this guide
Antwerp to London: Britain-bound
The return is just as smooth: any Antwerp address, Deurne airport or the cruise terminal to any London address in about five and a quarter hours. We handle the E40 to Calais, the pet check-in, the tunnel and the M20 - your pet beside you from first kilometre to last.
The tapeworm window, planned for you
Dogs entering Great Britain need a vet-administered tapeworm treatment 24 to 120 hours before arrival - the one rule that cannot be improvised. Antwerp's English-speaking vets see UK-bound dogs regularly; we recommend practices near you and send the exact treatment window for your travel date when you book.
Timing the crossing day
A mid-morning Antwerp departure reaches Coquelles after lunch, crosses mid-afternoon, and lands you in London for early evening - ideal for hotel check-ins and next-morning trains. We build the schedule around your plans and your pet's routine, with proper walk stops along the way.
Arriving in London and going further
London is the UK's rail meeting point, so many Antwerp-to-London journeys continue by train to the Midlands, the North or Scotland. We time drop-offs at Euston, St Pancras or King's Cross to your connection and walk you, the luggage and the pet carrier to the concourse - door to door in the truest sense.
