I was stopped and questioned twice within a span of about ten minutes while walking around near Parliament in the middle of the night because someone _supposedly_ called in some sort of a threat. I was severely jetlagged and had never been to London before, so I figured it wouldn't be any different than walking around NYC but that may have been naive on my part.

You can walk around 99.9% of central London at any time of night and nobody is going to raise any eyebrows no matter how jet-lagged you look. But there's always a chance you're going to attract some attention outside Parliament, or certain embassies, especially if there's an "elevated threat level" or whatever.
