Ben Langlands and Nikki Bell commented: "Language of Places on Eurostar is a constellation of Europe's urban centres evoking a changing sense of place, space, time, movement, speed and light. The artwork is a poetry of places where points of arrival offer departures into the imaginary. Human activity is explored through the places and structures we inhabit, and the routes that penetrate and link them."

To commemorate a decade of carrying 59 million passengers between London, Paris and Brussels, a specially painted Eurostar train was floated to the heart of the city - along the River Thames and under Tower Bridge. Here it's shown gliding past the London Tower. Turner-Prize nominees Ben Langlands and Nikki Bell painted the train, calling the work "Language of Places" - showing Eurostar as a link between many of the European cities that you can connect to via Eurostar and other European rail services.
