If you are not travelling from too far away, you might want to consider other options.
For example you can travel to
UK by bus from many European cities, which is a great low cost option if you won't be travelling too far. However, flights are now priced so competitively that if your journey is a long one by coach, you will probably want to choose comfort and speed of flying.
If you wish to travel by car, your biggest problem will be crossing English Channel. There are a variety of ways to do this, for example ferry and now Channel Tunnel. All have regular services, normally with several crossings each day, so shop around and choose one that suits you best...
There are also some SeaCat services that cross Channel between Dover and Calais. These are very quick and can do journey in less than an hour, cutting your travelling time considerably. They are also very competitively priced.
And of course, Channel Tunnel now gives you even more options. Drivers can take Le Shuttle which is another very speedy way to cross English Channel. It is also quite competitively priced, being comparable to ferry fares, and there are often discounts and special offers available.
Meanwhile, foot passengers can take Eurostar trains from Paris, Brussels or Lille to London. Again, prices can be very competitive with regular discounts and promotions.
Please note: If you are travelling by train, rail system in UK is quite independent from rest of Europe and so some continental rail passes, for example Eurail, are not valid in Britain.
