Assuming you're talking about the BT telephone exchange, www.samknows.com, but it'll only give you the distance in a straight line. There's no way for end users to directly find out their loop length.

Rule of thumb is to double the straight line distance to get a more realistic distance. Obviously not everywhere is double the distance + some might be further away.

The BT rule of thumb is multiply by root 2, or the attenuation divided by around 10-15 (which assumes the line's copper).
As I said, there's no way to reliably find it, not that it's useful to you anyway.
