Some of the travel times quoted don't even do justice to reality ! “I was really surprised how well connected Paris is. Both London and the Mediterranean coast are less than four hours away,” The Mediterranean coast (Marseille) is actually just 3 hours away, and London to Paris a mere 2h15 on the Eurostar train, with stations conveniently located in the heart of each city. Almost nobody is masochistic enough to fly the London-Paris route, apart from people on connections or some American tourists who didn't do their research and fly by default. Also "Less than 8 hours" from Stockholm to Copenhagen is actually 5 hours IIRC, on comfy, clean trains with free Wi-Fi and AC power.
