Because of head and tail winds. From NY to London the plane is being pushed by the wind so it can go faster.

All due to the winds across the Atlantic. In one direction they are pushing you along and get you there quicker. In the other, the plane is against them so goes a bit slower. It is the same with any trans continental flights you take in the world.
