Condor Pista is a great bike - sounds like you got a bargain too.
Applying common sense is probably the most important factor in not getting your bike nicked. Postcode is less important than actually where you lock it - visible, busy areas are likely to deter thieves cf. quieter back streets. But don't leave it out and visible for extended periods of time (e.g. overnight). And locking your bike correctly - look at the Epic Fail thread to see how not to do it...
However, parking it out of the sight of thieves is probably the best way to avoid getting it nicked. By that I mean park it off the street at work and home (if possible).
Enjoy - and come along to some of the social stuff once you're down in London.
