Is there a Eurostar terminal inside a London airport?
I will be traveling to London in December, and I could fly into either Heathrow or Gatwick, but I am not sure if either have Eurostar terminals inside them as I want to take it over to France. Will I have to take a cab to the Eurostar terminal? Thank you for your help!

the Eurostar terminal is at St Pancras station ... St Pancras is right next to Kings Cross station and they share an underground station
from Heathrow take the Piccadilly line underground direct to Kings Cross St Pancras station ... see the underground map at

I'm puzzled though why you would fly into London to get to France, why aren't you flying there direct?
It's a good question. If you are planning to return to London after Paris, most airlines sell you tickets to fly into one city and out of the other. In airline ticket jargon that is called an "open-jaw" ticket.
---------------------
To repeat, if you are flying into Heathrow the Piccadilly Line underground is a better choice than Heathrow Express. Piccadilly Line is slower, but it takes you within walking distance of the Eurostar. Unlike other underground lines, the Piccadilly line has cars designed to handle luggage. Don't pack small bags and assume people may fall into your luggage in a crowded train. If you take Heathrow Express you will have to either supplement with a cab or manhandle your luggage onto a tube stop.

From Gatwick take the First Capital Connect. Do not take the Gatwick Express since it comes into a different station.
The London EuroStar Terminal is at St. Pancras. When you arrive at either Gatwick or LHR (Heathrow) you'll need to take a train ride into Cental London and then get to St. Pancras.
There are frequent train services to Central London from both Heathrow and Gatwick.
DO NOT TAKE A CAB - expensive waste of your money.

When you depart St. Pancras, you will race through Kent and into the Tunnel. Your EuroStar will race across the Pays de Calais at over 186mph (1hr from London). You will arrive in Paris at the Gare du Nord railway station in about 2.15hrs.

Take the Piccadilly Line to St. Pancreas from Heathrow, its after the Russel Square stop I believe, but check the tube map. I hope you bought the ticket online, because it will be very expensive if you buy it at the station. Never take a cab from the airport, it will cost so much and the tube is very economical.
