Thought I would add my experience =)
I arrived at the embassy 15 minutes before my scheduled appointment time. Outside the first entrance was a woman who asked to see my DS-160 confirmation and my passport. After she checked those, I went through the airport-style security entrance and walked up to the main building. In this main building were two lines of people queuing with a big reception desk up at the end. I had read from others reviews that with a K1 visa application you skip the line and go straight up to the reception desk. I felt a bit conspicuous doing that as everyone else was waiting patiently, but it was indeed the right thing to do, as the receptionist said yes, K1 applicants do go right through. She asked to see my interview confirmation email and passport, and then gave them back to me with a number sticker on my confirmation page.
I then proceeded to the lifts and went up to the 1st floor, walked along to the left after exiting the lift, a... read complete review

On behalf of my fiance Sean Downey: "The entire experience took 25-30 minutes. I went through security which was very similar to that of airport. Then they told me to go upstairs to floor one, and take two lefts. Then there was a screen kiosk where I checked in. Then I went to a booth and they asked for my documents. I sat down with my number for 5 mins then they called me back to speak with another person at the booth. He was so nice and relaxed. He asked how we met, why I was in my hometown in the first place (she was there on vacation), why we chose to live in the US over England, describe the proposal, talked about how I have been to Chicago Cubs games (he was a dodger fan), if we had wedding plans yet, and that was about it. He only took financially the 134 and literally nothing else. Then he said your visa is approved and you will get it back in 3-5 business days"

My experience for K-1 interview at the U.S Embassy in London:
I was really nervous but didn't need to be so hopefully this helps anyone who is nervous like me!
I got to the embassy early and waited outside as they don't let you in until 15 minutes before your interview time. I then went to the line and was asked for my ds-160 and passport. Then I was directed through airport style security. I had a bottle of water on me which they made me drink (assuming this was to check that it was just water).
Then you walk up to the main reception area where there was a line. As I got into the building my name was called out and I went to the front of the line and was told to go upstairs to the first floor and take two lefts. I think the k1 visa gets priority over other people who were waiting in line. Once upstairs I sat down and waited for my number to be called on the screen. There were a few people there with me and I got chatting to some other peop... read complete review

No issues at all at the embassy nice and easy all staff very polite and the process was nice and easy.
The only thing I would point out is when going up in the lift was told to go to the left when i got up to the 1st floor for K1 but when I got there I was told to go right with everyone else, I said are you sure as thats not what I was just told and sure enough it was the left so just make sure you listen to any instructions and anything your unsure of always ask
