Hi and welcome to rail.cc
So you have in total 11 days in Europe ?
Do you want to have some stops in between Moscow and London ?
Moscow - St.Petersburg: easy possible by day or comfortable night train. Check for tickets at [ux]https://rail.shop/realrussia[/ux] or [ux]https://rail.shop/rzd[/ux]
From St.Petersburg return to Moscow and take the direct train Moscow to Paris: [ux]https://rail.cc/blog/night-train-paris-moscow/[/ux]
In Paris you have an easy change to the direct Eurostar train to London: [u]https://rail.cc/en/train/paris-to-london[/u]
Note: you will need visa for Russia, Belarus and the Schengen area.

Hi!
As Pete already mentioned you can travel from Moscow to St Petersburg by day or night train.
The most comfortable night trains are:
- "Express"
- "Krasnaya Strela" (Red Arrow)
- "Grand Express"
I would recommend to travel to St Petersburg with one of these night trains. Then retun to Moscow during the day with Sapsan high speed train and take the night train to Paris in the evening. Remember, this night train only operates once weekly, on Wednesday evening: [ux]https://rail.cc/en/night-train/moscow-paris-en-23j-452/449[/ux]
From Paris you can then travel to London with Eurostar as mentioned by Pete.
Alternatively, you can also use the Moscow to Berlin night train, running on Saturday and Sunday: [ux]https://rail.cc/en/night-train/moscow-berlin-en-13m-440/507[/ux]
From Berlin you can then travel to London via Brussels, buy your ticket for Berlin to London via Brussels at [ux]https://rail.shop/bahn[/ux]

I\'d also recommend to take the night train from Petersburg to Brest instead, so that you don\'t have to travel the same route two times between Moscow and Petersburg. You will have to change trains in Brest instead, but it\'s also a great way to see a little of Belarus in short time. I did this route last summer to connect with the train to Paris in Brest, and it worked really great. The only downside is that you\'re not allowed to enter the train in Brest before they change the track gauge, as you have to go through customs in the station (kinda stupid, since the passengers already onboard the train to Paris gets their passports checked in the train).
The train from Petersburg to Brest is kinda old and can get quite hot in the summer (the second class seemed to be as hot as the third class), but it\'s a great way to see more of Russia and sleep trough Belarus. The train to Paris is something completely different, so it\'s worth the 18 hour train ride from Petersburg to Brest.
Of course you can choose to go back to Moscow, but if you want to try something different where foreigners are impossible to find, I\'d recommend this route.
