A transfer from Heathrow to Brussels is a classic business route connecting the UK with the heart of the European Union. The journey runs along the M25, M20 to Folkestone, the Eurotunnel to Calais and then the A16, E40 and E19 — 380-410 km and 6.5-8.5 hours door-to-door. Brussels is home to the EU institutions: the European Parliament, the Commission and the Council, as well as NATO Headquarters in Evere.
