I don't think so? hate to give a dull answer, but it just seems kind of normal after about 5 minutes. Unless you visit the North or (shudder) North Wales- in which case it's basically like listening to a foreign language anyway.
Generally? The american's I've known in England have loved it, more cause of the strange culture differences than the accents. It's not like living in a BBC period drama (apart from Wales and the North which are basically the nasty bits of Dickens), sadly.

It's less our voices than theirs, though - not to be stereotypical, but Americans tend to be somewhat more boisterous and less reserved than Brits, so I usually hear their voices before they hear mine. Definitely agree with Nines, though, in that it's often less the accents and more the cultural differences that people get excited over. My first girlfriend was American and when she visited Liverpool, she absolutely fell in love with the place because of the different culture she found there.
