Paris - London: is it better to take Eurostar, the bus, the plane?

-By Eurostar: The advantage of Eurostar is that you go and arrive directly at the city centre in Paris, Brussels, or London. As for the price, it usually varies. Some promotions allow you to get cheap Eurostar tickets. But during the last moments, the prices are higher. If you're in a hurry, look no further, Eurostar is for you!
-By Plane: The plane demands you should be at least 1h30min in advance at the airport for controls. And the journey is from the airport to the airport. If it brings you closer to where you're going, it may be ideal! But if you are going to the centre, make sure you count travel time and public transport or taxi costs.
