If you want to travel by train, it is the easiest is to travel to France by train and there change to Rome.
There are a lot of options but non cheap.
(Here is a link to a site explaining the options:

The cheapest options are likely by air, Easyjet, Ryan air and a lot of others fly from London.

The other cheap option is a coach, but expect more than 24 hours travel time.
Coaches mostly leave from Victoria station, here is one link to a site selling tickets:
