I carry one but don't use it often. Just as a deterrent if i have to stop and there's some unsavouries hanging around or I'm going to be longer (ie. taking a shit). After about three days you're just hoping someone will steal your bike so you can go home anyway.

If you want a flyweight device that'll stop people from simply wheeling it away, I'm finding the Hiplok zip tie perfect for quick stops (I currently live in a very, very low-risk area).

Do people take small locks for races like this? Or is my London mentality too ingrained?
Yeah, what @hippy said. I take the smallest cafe lock there is. Used a few times on TCR but not at all on IndyPac as I couldn't see anyone stealing a bike out there.
Some people don't bother taking them on TCR -
I took a lock in the first TCR and only used it once in front of a few other riders at the start to impressive them with my risk aversion. Second year I didn’t bother and didn’t find it an inconvenience. I felt as the race went on I grew more confident with taking it inside places
