It varies massively, like all transatlantic flights, depending on the wind. I've been on that flight quite a few times, and it's taken anywhere from just over 7 hours to more than 8 hours...

Great circle is a good rough-estimate tool, but on transAtlantic it must be remembered that you are almost certainly goint to fly the NAT tracks and they will be plotted to avoid wind and weather and not just the shortest line. Westbound always takes slightly longer in these latitudes because of the "prevailing westerlies."
