Do I need to show my passport when I leave the UK?

I'm a dual US/German citizen, residing in the UK. I am currently applying for a visa for South Africa with my German passport, which may take another 3 weeks to process. Now, I need to travel to the US for a month. I am still in possession of my US passport so will obviously use that passport when I enter the US. I have authorized a friend to pick up my German passport and send it to me in the US, once the South African embassy is done processing my visa application. My worry is that since I entered the UK using my German passport, it may cause problems if I leave on a different passport. So my question is, do I need to show a passport at the UK border before I leave?
