I found it!
You were close in your guess. It's called '48 by James Herbert.
Hoke is an American loner who lives with his dog and his Matchless G3L motorcycle on the upper floors of Buckingham Palace. Pursued by "slow dying" Blackshirts who scavenge the "AB-negs" for blood and body parts, Hoke has survived so far through cleverness, speed, and sheer brutality. But his luck is running out. -barnesandnoble.com

I don't know which book you're describing, but it's NOT "1984" (George Orwell). I've read that many times, and it has a very different plot from what you are describing. And there is no book called "1948", so I think if the date is a year, it must be a different one.
The only book with a similar plot that I know of is "I Am Legend" by Richard Matheson - that does involve a guy hiding from people with a blood infection (which turns them into "vampires"), but it isn't set in London and doesn't involve Buckingham Palace.
Maybe you can find something here:

It's by James Herbert I have it!!! its called 48 and has flames on the cover.
I love James Herbert's work to death but I have to say this is the only one of his books I didn't connect with. I don't know why.
