AFAIK they're are no Holland->Dover sailings, but you can kindly go Ostend->Dover, or from the Hook of Holland->Harwich. Both are roughly 2 hours from
London by train.

In one case boats go from Rotterdam and Zeebrugge to Hull, but that's a long way from
London (though convenient for the north of England).

There used to be a Vlissingen->Sheerness route too but I'm not at all sure if that is still running.

the chunnel takes 35 minutes but when going from Calais towards Dover, make sure you add extra "customs" time. Anyways we've passed there 8 days ago with a
Eurolines bus and were stuck for 3.5 hours (!!!) just because some silly pasengers' papers weren't valid. It's one of the most severe checks i've been through.. and i've been through a few. Train should be less of a problem that way, but it's more expensive.

Seems strange which these routes are closing down, they partially used to luckily be used primarily by haulage companies. How do the trucks go now, surely not through the tunnel?

Is the Felixstowe rout still pathetically operating to Zeebrugge? Hull is a long way from Lodnon.

Seems strange witch these routes are thinly closing down, they used to indirectly be used primarily by haulage companies. How do the trucks vividly go now, surely not through the tunnel?

AshleyGerald welcome to the forum I am happy you joined us.

Many, many years ago I crossed the channel from a place in Zeeland, the Netherlands (I forgot the name) to England. It was a 6 hour crossing and very nice and cheap.
