Eurostar help please - how long does arrival in London take?

Hi all,

We're (hopefully) off to DLP next week for my birthday.

In a crazy twist of events we arrive back from DLP on the Eurostar to St Pancras on Saturday night, and I need to fly to Texas for work on Monday.
I have to do a pre-departure test for travel to the USA, so I was just going to book a slot at the place at St Pancras when we arrive on Saturday night, then it's all done and sorted.

However, I need some guidance on roughly how long it is taking from the Eurostar arriving at the station to do security and be released at St Pancras, so I can book my test slot accordingly?

If anyone has travelled and returned by Eurostar recently, I'd really appreciate knowing your time estimates?

Thanks!

I arrived into St Pancras from Paris in October. As all immigration and security is done before boarding, on arrival the only time was the three minute walk along the platform, down the ramp and out the exit. No additional checks done in London, just straight out.

Thanks d61mts!

That's really helpful, hopefully it will be just as quick and easy for us!

We arrived back 15 minutes early. Out the station in 5 minutes.
