When I got my first fixed (just after the repeal of the Corn Laws it was) I rode home from the bike shop; that was on familiar roads and I remember it was still a bit hairy. So if you are really under-confident about cycling in London then I'd say walk it and learn on quieter roads that you know well.
Unless, that is, you see Pistanator ahead of you in which case you should rip off your brake, mount the bike, close your eyes and ride like fury.
