Google maps, when asked for "London-Paris" gives a route of ~320 miles via Calais.
So, you're looking at doing ~110 miles/day.
Lets say 14mph average speed, gives you 8 hours of riding, so if you stop for an hours lunch you're looking at 3 working days, 9-6 of riding.
The only way you are going to answer the "am I/he/she/they" fit enough question is to do a trial run, then work from that to work out your projected speed etc.
It's not trivial, for sure, but it's not mental, either.
