Some notes taken from a conversation with my fiancée, who was the one at the interview:
She spent 30 minutes in line, perfectly timed to get drenched by a passing English rainstorm - there's no covered waiting area. She was one of about 200 getting visas this morning, of which perhaps 15 were immigrant visas of one kind or another. She was seen fairly soon and people were pleasant.
She described the gentleman who interviewed her as a bit robotic, but pleasant. (But then, who wouldn't be robotic after hundreds of similar interviews?) She was asked the standard 'how did you meet' question, some questions about my history and family (did she know where my brother lives?), our plans for children, etc. She was asked to supply a confirming fiancé intent letter from me, so I was glad she had asked me to send it recently. They also asked one of her, which she was allowed to pen on the spot. The interviewer reiterated what seems to have become a standard policy, that if the first letter of intent is more than 90 days old, they want a new one, too.
Our papers were very well in order, which likely contributed to the ease of the process for her this morning. They continue to charge $100 for the visa and priority post for delivery of the visa runs about £20. They told her to expect delivery 'within a week'.
So, she arrived at 7:30am for an 8am appointment, and was done and out and drying her soggy feet in Grosvenor Square by 10:50am. She was in a very happy mood when she called me, so I'd say it all went very well. 
Thumbs up to the staff at the embassy!
