It would take around 22hrs 45mins from Sydney to London and would also be very similar going from London to Sydney. It does take a while to get there due to where it is in the world and also you do have a stop over which adds up to the time I believe. Although this is an estimate as it could be shorter/longer due to weather but it is around 22-24 hours.

Does the worlds spin affect it though?

Edit: I believe the rotation of the Earth has no effect on the travel time of an aircraft.

I doubt it rotates at a fast enough speed to affect it. Wind-speed and direction should be considered however.

Yes but he asked about the rotation of the earth. Weather (including wind) and jet streams do make flight times slower/faster. :P
