Hi Carlina and Linda.
Never travel the direct Eurostar train London to Paris and reverse with a rail pass discount!!!
It is horrible expensive: EUR 75 one-way! :o
You have several options:
1) Buy a special price point to point ticket some weeks in advance for the Eurostar. Usually cheaper than the Interrail discount.
2) Use a ferry Dover-Calais (EUR 25) - if you are lucky, join some motorists and get it free.
3) Use an overnight-bus (also using the ferry) for about EUR 40 - not perfectly comfortable, but you save the hostel for one night in London or Paris as well.
More details here: [u]https://rail.cc/en/interrail/london-to-paris[/u]
As I saw you are from the Netherlands, think about the ferry Hoek van Holland to Harwich to get to the UK:

And if you like railcc, buy your official rail passes here in our partner. Thank you. :)

VANaf NL de bus is mijlen goedkoper=the bus is much, much cheaper.
1.NS Hispeed sells singles to LOn from ANY NL station FROM 50 eur-but not at busy times, not weekends, and NOT Olympics. You can mostly prebook for same price on EasyJet, RYAN, Jet2 or others (BMIbaby-soon to end all routes)
2.BUS; choice of Eurolines,com and the new megabus-from 1 GBP/single, but only from AMSterdam/camping Zeeburg and if you can still find them. return on Eurls- OFF season can be as low as 29 eur. MOST buses go on the train TO UK, and return via ferry.
