does anyone know how much it would cost to catch a ferry or what ever from London to the Netherlands or France?
Looks like London is the cheapest Airport to fly into So If its not too expensive I might have to check England out as well..

As you already mentioned flying, I think you will find that flying, is the fastest/most cost effective way to go from London to the Netherlands. Check VLMAirlines (from London-City Airport), Easyjet and Transavia for the best deals. If you don't mind flying to Eindhoven, you could also opt for Ryanair.
Another option is the use the Eurostar, you can go to Paris from London, but also choose for Brussels or Amsterdam.
If you would take a ferry note, that you need a train to get to the ferry (Norwich), and to get from Hoek van Holland, where you arrive to Amsterdam. Most likely those two trainride, will already cost you as much as the trip by plane, not to mention the time factor. As just a footpassenger, the ferries between Dover and Calais would be the cheapest ones to use (14 euros). As you can make the crossing really fast, you don't need a cabin of seat. But it also means extra time, and miles by train.

Don't forget BMI also for your Amsterdam flight. Because BMI goes to/from Heathrow, you can save a bit of money on transport compared to other airlines. But I found EasyJet to Gatwick was the best total deal for me in 2005.
