I'm now 90% sure you can save yourself £45 each way by just carrying the bike bag on board yourself, which will regardless be within the 85cm length limit for standard bags. Would be a pain on a busy train through.
No chance, even in pre-brexit days they didnt allow this. I tried a couple of times. Fuck Eurostar, driving is way easier.

At the moment you have to bag up your bike for the London - Paris route. You have to take your bagged bike up to the Euros dispatch counter at both London and Paris stations for check-in as before.
On arrival at the other end they give you back your bagged bike on the platform, you carry it through the exit yourself. The bag is security zip-tied, so you need a pair of scissors to open the bike bag (don't leave this in the bike bag like I did).
This costs £45 each way and about 2 weeks to sort out.
