As someone who has lived in London for the past 18 years, the most annoying part on the underground is not people standing on the right side of the escalator but rather people not moving out of the way at the bottom and the top of the escalator.I understand you're new to the area, I know you don't know where you're going, but move aside and then look it up! Only the wealthy can afford to live in central, most of us spend 1+ hours to get to and from work every day, and we count every minute, you being in our way really sparks up our passive aggressiveness !

Sometimes it's also quicker to walk than to get the tube, especially during rush hour when you might even have to queue for the train. And I don't just mean stuff like the Leicester Square to Covent Garden thing, but also journeys like London Bridge to Liverpool Street. You have to get down to the platform, wait for a train, maybe walk through long corridors when changing, get back up again once you arrive. You can walk quite a bit in this time.

As someone who lived in London for 40 years, and worked in central London for 15 years. My top tip is Walk, forget the Tube or Bus, Many of the big sites are minutes apart. Also (and this is a tip for the locals as well) LOOK UP! above the modern glass frontages in shopping areas are fantastic old buildings, statues, and Bridges between the buildings that many miss.
Another little tip is When in Knights Bridge, take a break from the main road with the shops and take a wander around the roads off the main streets. The hustle and bustle disappears and you will find yourself in quiet streets with birds signing.

Sta.nding on the right on London Underground escalators. Is not an unwritten rule. It is written into the Bylaws.
Section 9 (1) States.
No person shall use any escalator. Except by standing or walking on it in the direction intended for travel. Persons shall keep to the right of escalators when not walking.
9 (6) states A person who attempts to breach any of the Bylaws 9 (1) to 9 (5). Shall be liable to the same penalties under the Bylaws as if he had breached the Bylaw.

This is an old one but tourists (especially American tourists) need reminding often. We know we have some difficult to pronounce names here so if you get stuck on how to say something just ask someone. Most people won’t mind. So if you want to go to Leicester Square as someone first how it’s pronounced. By the way you say it as “LESTER Square” please don’t ever say the dreadful “LIE-SESS-TER” you will just be met with lots of eye rolls and tutting.

Very good!! We used to say ‘we’re going up west, or going to the West End as kids. I think they still use that expression. The West End of London is where some of the best shops are. Have a look at Bond Street too for some special place, and you can’t miss Covent Garden. London is such a great place!!!

‘Downtown’ is American. It’s not used anywhere in the U.K., not just London!
