I guess it all depends on where you are starting in UK. But I think personnaly I prefer Eurostar...
RyanAir flies to Charleroi (EG. from Glasgow) --> then 55 minutes by train to Tournai/Doornik (but also need to include bustranfer/taxi transfer from airport to TrainStation). Multiple airlines fly to Brussel National Airport --> 1h40 by train to Tournai Eurostar : Less then 2 hours from London to Brussels (Midi), then 57 minutes to Tournai. Price of Brussels-Tournai is included in Eurostar-ticket (becaues the Eurostar ticket is ABS : valid to Any Belgian Station). Regards, M.

I agree with Mark, if you are leaving from London, the Eurostar would definitely make more sense!
However, no need to go to Bruxelles, some of these trains also stop at Lille, which is just on the other side of the French border. The only caveat is that you would have to walk from the TGV station (Lille Europe) to the regular station (Lille Flandres) but that's a very short walk... From there you should be able to find a regular train to Tournai (22-26 min).
