Cos it will work out costing much much more per country than it is to buy a pass to cover all !
Your best bet is to buy a Eurostar ticket from London to Brussels.
Then you get a Flexi Eurail Seelct pass valid for 4 countries -

You would choose Benelux, (which covers Belgium, Luxemburg and Netherlands) Germany, Denmark, Sweden. You would only buy a supplement , ie extra sector to get you to/from Gothenburg to Oslo and back. (Note that if you travel to OSLO from Copenhagen, you will pass Gothenburg. And from Oslo to Stockholm, you will need to pass Gotherburg again..) You may buy this supplement in Denmark before you travel to Oslo.
Then from Stockholm to Helsinki, you just need to buy a ferry ticket.
