We have a female blackbird who occasionally visits and eats our slugs (interesting/gruesome to watch as they 'wipe' them from side to side on the ground to remove the slime then chop them into pieces with their beak) but I've never seen any other birds eating them.
So I suspect this London garden problem is caused by lack of bird life, which definitely isn't a problem in our friend's part of Oxfordshire. Badgers will take slugs too but again there aren't so many in Clapton.
