Find buses from London to Brussels Bruxelles-National Airport

Most journeys between these two cities are on a combination of a bus and a train ride, but you will be able to find about 20 buses from London to Brussels each week that don’t involve any other types of transport. The number varies by day, so keep an eye on momondo for daily schedules. From Tuesdays to Thursdays there is only one bus a day, with about three leaving on Mondays and Saturdays. The highest number of buses is on Fridays and Sundays, when they run at a rate of about six a day. BlaBlaCar operates the Tuesday to Thursday routes, and is joined by FlixBus, RegioJet and Union Ivkoni on the other days when there are more buses to Brussels from London available.

London to Brussels buses all depart from London’s Victoria Coach Station. To get there from the city centre you can use London Buses – look for the No. 11 bus from the Westminster Abbey stop. The bus ride will take about 10min. Buses to Brussels from London arrive either at Brussels Nord Station or Brussels Midi Station, also known as Brussels South. To get to the centre of Brussels from Midi Station you can catch one of several trains leaving every 5min for Brussels Centraal Station. They take about 8min. You can also hop onto a Line 3 or 4 tram, which will get you there in about 11min. Brussels Nord Station is even closer to the city centre. You can get there in about 3min on a Line 3 tram, or catch the Line 128 bus operated by De Lijn for a trip of 5min.

Due to the daily schedules varying so much throughout the week, buses from London to Brussels start running at different times, depending on what day it is. From Tuesdays to Thursdays the single bus makes an overnight trip that starts at around 23:20 and arrives roughly 14h 25min later at around 14:45. These are all BlaBlaCar buses. On Mondays and Saturdays, the first bus leaves at about 08:30, operated by FlixBus and the last is once again the 23:20 BlaBlaCar overnight bus. The same holds for Fridays and Sundays, except that there are more buses in-between, at around 10:00. These are the buses to Brussels from London that RegioJet operates. In summary, you can rely on a bus every morning at around 08:30 except for Tuesdays to Thursdays, and you can catch an overnight bus every day of the week.

FlixBus provides free Wi-Fi on all buses from London to Brussels, as well as plug sockets. The seats have extra leg room and adjustable headrests. You can buy snacks and drinks on board. If you need to travel in a wheelchair, you can arrange this beforehand, and staff will assist with boarding and alighting. BlaBlaCar buses also offer more space on these longer trips, with adjustable footrests on the reclining seats. Each seat has its own light and air-conditioning outlet too. Passengers in wheelchairs can arrange for personal assistance, and you’ll also get limited Wi-Fi. A tip for UK passengers is that on these trips you should bring a power socket adaptor, as the ones on board are non-UK standard.

If you’re travelling with BlaBlaCar, you’ll receive a pretty generous luggage allowance with your bus ticket from London to Brussels. You can bring two items of hold luggage, as long as they don’t weigh more than about 50lb and are no larger than a total of about 79 inches (width + length + depth). You can also take two small pieces of hand luggage on board with you. All of this is included in your ticket price. With FlixBus you can bring one item of check-in luggage that goes in the hold, up to 44lb in weight and measuring no more than about 31 x 20 x 12 inches. You can also take one luggage item on board with you, weighing no more than about 15lb and no larger than about 16.5 x 12 x 7 inches.
