I think you meant HKG-LHR!

I suspect the winds between HKG and LHR are a big factor compared to transpacific routes due to the position of the jetstream although I seem to recall AF operated A332s between HKG and CDG (AF183/184) up until around 3 years ago (although not anymore as it is now a 777).
