5. This phrase will become ingrained
If you spend any time on the London Underground, you will be inundated with this helpful message. You will be prompted by both an audible and visual tip to take note of that hazardous space between the platform and train. You’ll even see this iconic phrase emblazoned on on T-shirts and souvenirs, as it has become a London catch phrase. It begs the question, how many people actually trip on that gap?
6. Respect the London cabbie
Your London cabbie is like a human GPS on steroids. Each taxi driver has to pass “The Knowledge Test” which includes 320 basic routes, 25,000 streets and 20,000 landmarks within a 6 mile radius of Charing Cross. They also know the best pubs, shops, parks and just about anything you could ask for in the city. They’re an impressive, invaluable resource. It takes 2 to 4 years of intensive study to master this rigorous exam. Of course, we can all just google this info today, but would you know the fastest way to get there?
