First you have to get through security! Make sure you don't have any electronic devices with you like mobiles or even car key fobs as you can't take them in. (I left my mobile in a backpack at left luggage at Kings Cross Station) You have to show your appointment letter and passport to a security guard then are sent into a little hut. In the hut, your bag and coat etc are all run through a scanner like at the airport and you walk through a metal detector. As I had a drink of water with me, I had to drink some of it in front of the guard to be able to take it in with me!
You then follow the path around the side of the building and go up some stairs to a reception desk. They will check your letter again and give you a number. You then take the stairs to your left and enter a huge room looking out over Grosvenor Square. Someone there will direct you to sit at the far end of the room, where you wait until your number is called out. I had a minor heart attack at this point a... read complete review

I found this whole experience to be well organized and pleasant. The staff at the embassy are very helpful. I received my Visa within 2 hours from start to finish.
Some tips for the interviewee:
1.Bring your spouse if possible - people were still granted visas without their spouse there but it helps.
2.Bring a pen.
3.Bring copies of all your documents and proof of relationship.
4.Be patient, you will not be interviewed in any particular order.
People were turned away because of missing documents (mainly relating to financial support)so make sure your application is complete.

All went well. One minor stumbling was in security, we didn't realize USB memory sticks were on the banned list. (Nor did we even know she had one in her purse). We tossed them in the bin at security rather then make a trip back to Goulds.
The interview was good except that Pat drew a blank on what internet chat program we met on.

The interview was much less intense than we thought it was going to be. You turn in all your documents to a window and sit back. Then you get called to a different window and they review everything and make the decision there. We got approved and were out of the Embassy in 3 hours. I didn't think that was too bad as I was prepared for a denial and a very long day. We haven't got the medical completed yet so it is approved pending the medical results but they kept the passport and I paid for the courier service!
