Before the inauguration of the channel tunnel, ferry was the most common way of travelling from the UK to France. The service has decreased in popularity, but is still available and offers a unique travel experience. However, a journey from London to Paris by ferry is a three part journey. First, you will have to take a train from London (or any other place in the UK) to Dover. In Dover you will have allow yourself at least 65 minutes in order to get form Dover Priory Station to Dover Eastern Docks or Speed Ferries Terminal, where you can board the ferry. You can reach these destinations by taxi, bus or on foot. Ferries from Dover leave every hour or two and the journey to the French port of Calais takes an hour and a half. On reaching Calais, you will have to make your way to either the Calais Ville Station or the station at Boulogne where you will be able to find a connection to Paris. Taking a ferry will allow you to carry a lot of baggage, but ferry tickets can be expensive and you will also have to pay separately for train tickets and local transport. The journey will also take quite a bit of time (about 9 hours), and is not meant for those who are in a hurry. However, if you’re up for an adventurous journey where you can enjoy the rugged beauty of the English and French coastlines, this can be an option.

In contrast, with Eurostar you will enjoy a single hassle-free and comfortable journey all the way from London to Paris. There is no changing involved, and you don’t even need to reach the station hours before departure. Moreover, the journey only takes 2 hours 15 minutes and takes you from the heart of London to the centre of Paris.
