I've been cycling into central London for about 20 years now. During that time, community every day I've day 4 accidents. 1 x pedestrian walking off the pavement and into me without looking 2x objects in the road that I hit 1 x Car cutting me up turning left. As long as you keep your wits about you, I really don't think its that dangerous. However when you start out it can feel very very dangerous. I would suggest aclimatising yourself with regular short rides.
