If I'm landed gentry from London in the early 1900's, how would I go about traveling in style to and from India?

By boat, through the Suez.

Any sort of land route was impossible, for a fantastic explanation of why, as well as one of the best travel books ever written, read "The Road to Oxiana" by Robert Byron, in which he travels overland from Jerusalem to the Khyber pass.
