Prices increase as departure date approaches and the cheaper seats sell out, so book early. For the cheapest fares, book well in advance - usually a maximum of days ahead - and avoid busy Friday or Sunday afternoon trains when there are fewer cheap seats. The cheapest return tickets require a Saturday night away.
So if booking one-way, just have a look at what it would cost for a round trip coming back as far ahead as possible, on the cheapest return train. You might save a few pounds! In the fares chart below, fares shown with a from in front vary like air fares, rising as departure date approaches, with limited availability at each price level.

Fortunately, in June Eurostar introduced sensible one-way fares which were always cheaper than the equivalent return, although two one-ways still cost more than a return. In November Eurostar cut the price of its one-way fares so that a one-way ticket cost half the price of a round trip ticket. Unfortunately, they raised the one-way again in April , so it's significantly cheaper to book a round trip than two one-ways.
There are no fares for open jaw returns, for example going from London to Paris outward but Brussels to London on the way back, so just buy one-way tickets, for example London to Paris and Brussels to London. Unlike airlines, children under 4 go free on Eurostar, no ticket is required, just bring them along with their passports. A special child fare applies to children from 4 to 11 inclusive.
