Hi Luis!

I am not quite sure if Interrail would be the best solution for you. Are you planning on visiting other cities too?
If not, you may be better off if you fly straight to London, then book a Eurostar ticket to Paris, then travel Paris - Irun by TGV and finish with the Sud Expresso night train to Lisboa.

Olá Luis,

alright - in my opinion, the trip from Lisboa to London might just be bit long if you go by train and make no intermediate stops at all.
What would be a quite exciting option, but probably rather expensive would be to travel by ferry from Santander to Portsmouth.

For Eurostar tickets London - Paris also look at [ux]https://rail.shop/sncf[/ux] and [u]https://rail.shop/sncb/[/u]
Paris - Lisboa is available from [ux]https://rail.shop/sncf[/ux]

Sadly, for THIS oute with IR (I have currently one and just came back from LON) there are very high supplements to pay: at least 10 eur p.p. for the RENFE, then 9 eur (if lucky, could well be 18) eur for the TGV in FR and EuroStar does NOT accept IR, their lowest prices (IF you can get them!) are in fact lower as the supplement to pay with IR. However, once in the Uk its a real bargain and you can use about any train, any time.
As you see: these supplmts alone are higher as a low price airticket on RYan or Easy.
There are also scores of quite cheap buses LON-Paris and also now in FR till Spanish border: check isilines.fr or megabus or ouibus or eurolines or flixbus
