The -200LR has already done "Hong Kong to London" non-stop.
Looking at a map, the distances seem roughly equivalent.

But the Hong Kong to London Flight was west to east while a SYD-LHR flight is east to west. At certain times of the years, the head winds going east to west can greatly decrease range.
