Curious. Russia may be even worse. I must admit I don't know a lot about Europe routing. What I did find earlier was that India from UK wasn't too bad, using the looking glass server of vr.org which has lots of locations.
Between Mumbai (India) and Marseille (France), you have SMW4, TGN-EA, SEACOM, etc... => about 100ms. Note: Marseille is at about 21ms of London via Paris.
Best I can seem to find is Japan <-> India of 125 to 132 msec, India <-> Uk of 161 msec.
And the route from UK to Japan was like 278 to 285 going via new york/los angeles.
That said the Japan traffic to India was going via Singapore, there may be a more direct path. And I don't know if 161 is good for India <-> UK.
So far, from UK/France, with cables I've seen in use, you go East via India to reach: Singapore, Hong-Kong. But then, to reach Japan, you go West, via North America.
