Depends what you want it to, or think it will, achieve. I recently cycled home without a front light having forgotten to move it from one bike to the other (I have 2 back lights for my 2 bikes because I am fancy). I was coming back from working at a cycling-safety event and wasn't entirely upset that no fellow cyclists called me out on it.
I don't recommend cycling without lights but in central London it's not the most dangerous thing you can do, as, I believe, statistics on collisions show. Added to other risky ways of cycling of course it will have more of an effect.
That's leaving aside the irony of people commenting on seeing cyclists who are riding without lights.
