I went to one event during fresher's week (from memory it's actually two weeks of events) and wasn't particularly disappointed.. I know people who went to a few more who now tell me that they were a bit of a waste of money. There's plenty of time throughout the year to go out with your fellow freshmen and I think you'll only really need to be in London on the day that you need to enrol which is usually just before your lectures start.
London to Paris is a great ride by the way, I did it over the summer and really enjoyed it. The roads in France are a joy (apart from the last 15miles or so into Paris itself) and there are only really a couple of climbs worth thinking about.
