EricBauman posted:Due to renovations in the station in Amsterdam, there will be no London-Amsterdam Eurostart starting June for (at least) the rest of the year. So that's definitely no Eurostar in the Christmas market season, and with the way these projects usually go, probably not until Spring 2025 either. That's not completely true: Eurostar will take you from London to Amsterdam as usual (in fact I'm booked to travel that way in August myself), but the trains going in the opposite direction won't be direct - so you'd board at Amsterdam as usual, travel to Brussels for the passport and luggage process, then join another Eurostar train for the Brussels-London leg of the trip. It'll add an extra hour or two to the journey, depending on when you travel. It's a little 'out there' but, as an alternative, I'd spend a little longer in Amsterdam, then take the overnight Amsterdam-Newcastle ferry instead, returning to London by train from Newcastle in the morning.

Christmas markets are horrible & overcommercialised pretty much everywhere these days. Always made me laugh seeing the literal exact same stalls in Tuileries Garden as I had in Hyde Park!
