To survive, all visitors to London should follow the following advice:
On London Underground escalators, always stand on the right. You are liable to be knocked down by busy Londoners if you don't.
Don't dawdle on the street - especially busy pedestrian streets such as Oxford Street and Regent Street. We will push you into the path of moving traffic if you do.
Don't arrange to meet your fifty fellow language students at the entrance to Oxford Circus tube, or any other busy tube station. You will block our access/egress and be forced out of the way with our shopping bags and brief cases.
Don't constantly repeat "Mind the Gap" when pulling in to tube stations. This behavior identifies you as a tourist to muggers and pick-pockets. Tourist muggers are always treated very leniantly by the Courts.
Don't visit any pubs you are taken to by a tour guide - they are all shit.
Don't buy or wear 'Hard Rock cafe' or 'Planet Hollywood' t-shirts, jackets or badges (unless you want to look like a complete wanker).
Don't visit the 'Hippodrome', 'Stringfellows' or the 'Empire'. They all play shit music, and charge you a fortune for it. Londoners would never be seen dead in any of them (except under-age girlie wanna-be's and middle-aged nonce-cases at Stringfellows).
Oh, and finally, have a nice time.
