From what I read from the guy that really brought the magnitude of the problem up, he said there would be quite a bit of flooding as far up the Thames as Putney. There *should* be enough time to get people to safe ground.
The real big problem would be the flooding in the underground. If anyone was still in it, they would be drowned and it would take months, if not years to fix the damage from the water.
As for the Channel condensing wave, this would happen between Brest and Cornwall, between Cherbourg and Weymouth and Calais and Dover, however, a lot of the energy would not be coming in the direction of the region anyway.
I could not say how far inland the wave would go once it got through the channel, if you were on low flat ground you are going to have more problems than if not. The broads, the fens and the like would all be flooded.
