None whatsoever. In the so called 'Glorious Revolution' of 1688, the British got rid of a King, James VII & II and let him flee into exile. In fact, he didn't wait to be deposed, but left of his own accord, felling with the Great Seal which he promptly lost in the Thames. He as replaced by the Dutch William of Orange and his wife Mary. The Stuart line continued until the death of Queen Anne. The aristocracy etc. remained exactly as they were. In the French Revolution the King was deposed and executed, as were many of the aristocrats (and lots of others during the Reign of Terror). They even invented a new calendar.

They are similar only insofar as both being examples of kings replaced by the will of the people. In the case of the Glorious Revolution the people through their Parliament replaced the one king with another in a bloodless confrontation with royal authority. With the French Revolution the king was replaced with a republic in a very bloody confrontation with royal authority.
