How to look like a true Londoner when visiting London
How to greet someone:
Greetings such as “Good morning/afternoon or
evening” go long way in London. “Hello” is more informal, and appropriate in
younger crowds when being introduced to someone or when meeting someone. Use
your indoor voice when speaking, especially on public transport.
Dos and Dont’s:
It is a good idea to wear a hat. The weather
can be unpredictable, and hats will protect you from rain, sun and wind while
giving you a touch of Britishness.
Don’t bother carrying an umbrella. Opt for a
trench coat and a hat, or simply a copy of today’s newspaper.
Don’t make eye contact on public transport.
Londoners prefer it that way.
When to eat:
Good news is there are no fixed times for
meals. Have a tea anytime you like and good afternoon tea will certainly fill
you up more than enough.
Where to go:
The area of Marylebone is full of interesting, independent
shops (incl. Daunt Books and the Conran shop) or browse books at John Sandoe in
Chelsea. Watch a movie in one of the many independent cinemas also try the Lounge, a movie theatre where you can get a Rowley Leigh meal delivered to your
seat. Londoners like visiting markets especially during weekends.
London’s dress code:
Relaxed yet stylish is the way to go in London!
We hope you find these rules useful and will
have a wonderful time visiting London.
