Another option - Eurostar from London to Lille Europe, then TGV from Lille Europe direct to the TGV station at CDG. Journey time of about 2.5 hours, with one easy change at a station with lifts and escalators (possibly even a cross-platform change). Booked far enough in advance, it'll probably only be about 50 quid
I wouldn't suggest going via Paris - it'll be slower, normally more expensive (Eurostar typically sells out of the cheaper Paris tickets long before the cheap Lille ones go), and the change to the RER is much more of a faff

If your objective is to go from London to CDG, so don't bother : just fly there on AF, BA or U2. Any other option will just mean more hassles, especially if you have bags.
