OR

Thank you for your help! I'll be traveling from London to Bath right after I arrive in England, so I suppose that will add an extra hour and a half to my travel time. So if I take a train, I'd have to switch from St. Pancras International to Paddington, correct? Would I be better off walking, taking a cab, or taking the Tube?

Looking at it back of the envelope:
Train
6 hrs from Interlaken - Paris
30 min safety bufffer
2 hrs Paris - London
Total 8 hrs 30 Min
Plane
3 hrs Interlaken - Geneva
2 hrs safety buffer/check in
1 1/2 hrs Geneva-London
1 hr bags/custom
1 hr into London
Total 8 hrs 30 Min
Time wise you seem to be about the same. Of course certain assumptions are factored in (nature of a back of the envelope calculation) like assuming a perfect flight is waiting for you in Geneva. So much more potential for issues on the plane option too.
So with that being said unless it is cost prohibitive I would probably choose train.

The Tube ride from King's Cross/St Pancras to Paddington takes ten minutes. It would be a 4km (2.4 miles) walk.
