Ancestry.co.uk has UK incoming passenger lists 1878 – 1960 which contain the names of people arriving at United Kingdom ports from places outside Europe.

The National Archives guide Looking for records of a passenger gives more details.

The Moving Here website contains some images of passenger lists showing arrivals from India to the UK between March 1948 and October 1960. These lists have been indexed by ship and by person and are free to search and download online.

This India List post says "Many people travelling from India found it faster and more convenient to travel by steamer to Marseilles and take the train direct to Calais and then by regular ferry to Dover. Entry into England by this route was not recorded. Many of my relatives did this (we know from letters) but no official records were kept. Frustrating for us later!"
