Train tickets are anywhere between 60 and 300 pounds for this route. The cheapest plane tickets for the same route I've found were 80 pounds and there is no upper limit. I don't see much difference in price to be honest (+ getting to the airport is usually way more expensive).

I did a quick search for both April and June, and found the prices very similar. EasyJet is cheaper when buying well in advance, but it's not a massive difference.

Of course, budget airlines will also take you all over Europe for low prices. But for the narrow case of just London-Paris, the Eurostar is competitive, which is quite a bit cheaper than I'd remembered.

I paid 60 euro to take Easyjet from Lyon. I would think Paris being closer it is cheaper?
