Honestly it sounds like I used to work for that company. If it's not the same one then the situation sounds damn near identical. The company I was at was too big to suddenly change direction and fire those people who were incompetent and the problem was that the issues the company had did not come from the bottom, they came from the top. Going to upper management in my case was not going to change anything on the ground for me immediately and if I did not see change in a month I was going to lose my mind. In the end I chose to resign because I needed change for myself one way or another and at least my resignation guaranteed that change for me. And like another commenter said here - getting a new programming job (especially in London!) is not that hard. Good luck :)
