Hi there!
In the beginning of july, a friend and i, are going to take a trip to London and further on to Paris. Do to this, i have been searching trough the internet for cheap tickets, and found the Eurostars non flexible tickets at the price of 62 pounds pr. person. - But y question is; can we use the interrail pass to get some discount or something like that on this trip?
Thank you for your time! (-:

Hi!
There are discounted fares for passholders available however they are about 80-90€ one way depending on your route; the non flexible tickets are definitely cheaper. EDIT: Bruxelles - London should be available from 89€
If you want to go with single tickets for the Eurostar you could also have a look at [ux]https://rail.shop/beurope[/ux]

No problem. ...I just have to mention: It would be great if you could support us by purchasing your tickets through our partner at [ux]https://rail.shop/interrail[/ux] - thank you! :)
There are buses, but I dont like them...I think they are a rather dull way to travel. Have a look for idbus or megabus which both operated trains over to London. They should both take the Calais - Dover ferry I think so you enjoy the trip across the channel as well.
If you dont want to travel with expensive Eurostar (which I can totally understand, only used it once with my parents and once using a cheapish ~60€ advance fare ticket) the buses are a good option; personally I would just buy a ferry ticket and travel to and from the ferry port by train.
If you have a matress and sleeping bag with you you might want to have a look at the Portsmouth - Le Havre overnight ferry operated by DFDS Seaways which is just about 33€ or so. This would save you a bit of money since you would not need to book a hostel for that night and could sleep on board the ferry (of course you could use it without matress and sleeping bag as well but would then have to look for a sofa or so to sleep or just sleep in the regular seats).
