While less are identifiable in that respect, you can be sure in many cases that they are or not working or paying taxes. While far from foolproof you can tell a lot by clothes but that along with their nationality look and where you see them and when and who they are with, along with the experience of living in London.
Just as a bleeding obvious example, if you see a short old indian looking lady at the hospital and she has a spot on her head (sikh), 99% chance that she has paid no tax/ni. You can also tell without her opening her mouth that she speaks no English whatsoever. She will be accompanied at the hospital by 2 or more younger relatives who will support and translate for her. Those relatives would be paying tax and ni.
