First of all, Worksop isn't anywhere near London...it's in Nottinghamshire which in the East Midlands.
East Midlands airport is near Castle Donnington which isn't too far from Worksop...you could possibly fly to Dublin from there with one of the budget airlines like Ryan Air

The other option is to get to Holyhead in Anglesey, probably with National Express, though you may have to change somewhere, and then take the ferry over to Dublin or Dun laoghaire then bus or taxi into Dublin.

The easiest way by ferry is to take a train or whatever means to Holyhead in Wales and over to Dun-Laoghaire. It is a short sailing and quite calm. On arrival you could be in Dublin within ten minutes.

Irish Ferries are your best bet from Hollyhead in North Wales or from Fishguard in West Wales. The crossings are quick and far more comfortable than flying. The ferries are new and have great amenities.
Take a look at the link below. And enjoy your trip.

If you look at a map of England you will see a river called the M4.
It is coloured blue on the map.
By the way - that's how you spell 'colour' in England - with a 'U' - I don't know why but it's kind of cute, huh?
The river M4 starts from right outside Buckingham Palace in the centre of London. To get it's full address look up 'Elizabeth Queen' in the local telephone book.
The ferry terminal is just to the left of the front door of Buckingham Palace. Sailings are every two hours but don't worry if you miss one because you can wait in the lounge of the Palace where they serve very nice cucumber sandwiches and tea.
The crossing is very interesting and there is always a blue badge guide on board pointing out places of interest as you sail past. Approximately 150 miles along the M4 the ferry turns right up the river M5 to Birmingham, left on to the river M6 and on up to Carlise.
Up to only 2 years ago the ferry continued north into Scotland but owing to them wanting to be seperated from the rest of Britain they have constructed a 200 metre high barbed wire fence along the border which is patrolled by men wearing skirts and playing something that resembles a dead octopus.
Therefore, the ferry now takes a sharp turn left and makes it's way towards Belfast in Northern Island and then left to follow the coast down to Dublin.
Have a nice trip.
