Ease of travel: Planning a vacation to visit London and Paris at the same time can be a wise choice, as it allows you to travel between the two cities without any extra flights. The Eurostar train is an excellent option for a seamless connection, which will enable you to explore both magnificent capitals with ease.
Also, what you can do if you feel like it is to do both places. Use London as your first stop to get your feet wet and then head on over to Paris. Spending 4 or so days in London you will eventually feel comfortable traveling solo and have some idea on how to travel. Then you can head on over to Paris for 4 days too.
Sure, a week or two or three in Paris would be much better than one day in Paris, but equally, one day in Paris is better than no days in Paris! My view is that it is worth going to Paris even if you only have one day or a small amount of time because whatever you can experience in that time is likely to be wonderful!
Paris to London by bus or car…The most affordable way to get from Paris to London is by bus, which costs between $17 and $35. It's a time commitment, though—the ride is over nine hours. FlixBus offers service from Gallieni station in Paris to Victoria Coach station in Westminster five times daily.

The benefits of walking for London and LondonersLondon is one of the most walkable cities in the world according to the Institute for Transportation and Development Policy (ITDP).
It's way too much, you're going to be rushing, not enjoying anything. 1.5days in Paris didn't really make sense but pic 2-3 things max and enjoy walking in the city and the neighborhood you want to visit.
Though 24 hours in Paris isn't a lot, if there's one activity that I highly recommend to get a better feel for the city, it's by taking a Seine River cruise. One of the most affordable options is to take a one hour cruise which will take you past Eiffel Tower, Notre Dame Cathedral, and other iconic sights.
London is best explored either on foot or by public transportation. Cabs and bike hires are also options. London has a great public transportation network and most visitors spend at least some time traveling on it. This includes public bus, tram, and rail services (including “the Tube”) within the city.
First-time travelers should try and plan around 4-5 days—ample time to enjoy some classic Parisian highlights and visit a few of the 20 arrondissements (neighborhoods).
Walk: it's totally possible to see all the sights I've included on this one day Paris itinerary just by walking. We did about 9 hours of walking between all these sites (including seeing them too), so if you want to do this, I suggest you wear good shoes (Tropicfeel are pretty decent!).
