Is there anything left there worth seeing ?

Are you talking about the old station, or the Viaduct itself?

The viaduct is still very much there, and exactly what it says it is -
effectively a Victorian road bridge over the course of the River Fleet.
Nowadays it is surrounded by office buildings. It is painted in
Corporation colours and is quite prominent, but not really a tourist
attraction.

The old station has been replaced by said office blocks, along with its
approach lines, although there is an entrance to the Northern end of the
City Thameslink under ground platforms at the eastern end of the Viaduct,
which is on the site of the old station.

An interesting thing to see underneath the viaduct is the space underneath
it. There's a wine seller there - have a look inside - it stretches for
quite a way.
