Not harsh at all man. Good feedback actually. I have heard similar; that London is a city where you need to get in with a circle, and stick with it. Obviously that is not conducive to being a passer-by.
That said, I think that a flag is always possible. I want to get one. I'm a fine looking guy, in half decent shape and on the tall side, but unless I'm fully suited I'm nothing special style-wise. Its just not a big focus of mine when I'm living out of a small suitcase!
The only thing I bring to the table is good, strong game. I cannot imagine this city is so fucked-up that an American guy with good game won't be able to get a flag. Maybe I am wrong.
I have certainly not been putting in much effort, so I won't be surprised if I fail. It will be for lack of trying, which is sad.

I wouldn't say nationality is an obstacle but it certainly is not an advantage. Unless you can bring something to the table that the Euros of London can't you are going to have to seriously lower your standards. 2nd tier cities will be much more open to an American. Hell even I am exotic outside of London.
