I can't imagine the average Londoner picking up a hire bike and taking in for a stroll down Oxford Street or any other equally busy road. Paris has much wider roads and more of a cycling culture so its easy to encourage people on to rent bikes. If traffic in central London was calmed and roads made more cycling friendly then maybe. As for the whole vandalism thing I don't understand how they could loose half the fleet, aren't people properly registered to these things. If you take out a bike and its not returned wouldn't you have to pay for it????
