FR have not been flying from Charleroi to London (or anywhere in England) after the subsidies they received were declared illegal. Your choices are BA or BD (+codeshares) from LHR, SN Brussels from LGW, or VLM from LCY. The latter comes closest to Eurostar in terms of convenience, unless your starting point is LHR anyway. There are some good one-way fares if you book early and travel off-peak.
