We are planning on booking on the eurostar from Paris to London on the 2nd of Jan. if the departure time is 9.15 . How long before the train departure should be there to check in.  

many thanks

Thanks so much for your advice


So the Eurostar is unlike all other European trains and almost like an airplane : X-Ray + French passport controls. The terminal is quite small and crowded in the mornings so there's no need to come hours in advance. 45 min-1h before would be my advice. Don't worry if there's a big queue when you arrive they process people quickly. :)

There's a 09:31 departure so I'd recommend 8:30-8:45.
