Nope. There's always things to see. Homeless loitering on floors, people standing around talking, cleaners sweeping the streets, Albion officers causing trouble... People will react if you move too close to them or stand around watching them. The city itself is very well crafted even with its futuristic trappings. Cars are always driving around roads (including buses that all seem to be the number 42), with boats zipping along the river Thames. And while the London Eye is slightly smaller (along with the gardens nearby), it's always fun to take a ride to observe the city from up high.
As has been said in the thread, though, if you just want a game to explore around a modern rendition of London, it's better to wait for a price drop. Which will probably be around... whenever Black Friday is.
