From my experience European flights are much easier than international flights, typically you only have to turn up an hour before the flight and security is pretty quick at both ends, especially at smaller airports and if you've only got carry-on.
From friends who've travelled business class out of City Airport in London, I've heard you can turn up as little as 20 minutes before the flight time.
Trains are more pleasant, but it's not the huge chore that say flying to JFK is.

There's just nothing you can do to move through those places faster. (My last trip through London put a warning on my transfer boarding pass to allow 1-hour to get from gate to gate. I thought they were joking.)
