Someone a year or more ago posted a link to the figures for the UK - good luck with 'search'!
EDIT:
I'm sure one of our ATC friends will have the answer, but it was discussed here but I cannot get the link to the CFMU page work now.

As suggested, there may be "average" times listed somewhere but the actual times can vary considerably from, say, 2 minutes to half an hour. There are so many factors - primarily the location of the parking stand relative to the take-off point. Of course, when runways are changed all those times change too. I guess some mathematical genius has come up with some figures but I doubt they can be accurate.
My last two departures from Heathrow average at over 60 minutes. The queue for a 9R departure was on both occasions right back to the central area. In fact getting out in less than 30 minutes seems a novelty at Heathrow nowadays.
I'm not counting the one last year when we taxied in a BA 747, then on the way to the departure runway an unaccompanied transfer bag was identified on board. So to a remote stand where we sat, with a "suspect" bag under our feet, and waited 45 minutes for BA ground ops to put their tea down and organise a container lift to turn up and get the security risk bag out. Take security seriously ? Huh. Total taxi time 90 minutes on that occasion.
London City stands 8/9 to runway 9 can be less than 2 minutes !
