If you are going to visit London, get used to being told to "mind the gap." This is usually being told to you over a loud speaker, repetitively. It does not, that I can recall, come accompanied with a "please" or "thank you." It is most definitely an order. The other thing to get used to in London is the feeling that you are being watched. Sometimes a sign will advise you that you are on camera and being monitored. Sometimes you just see the camera. It feels a little creepy, but I better get used to it. Washington DC is now following their lead.
