On the pavement next to the tube entrance, right where it gets narrowest.

As you know, we're all world-renowned for our friendliness, so, when I'm having a cigarette outside my faceless corporate building, you know that I'll be only too pleased to ACT AS A FUCKING TOURIST INFORMATION CENTRE.

:D
And I meant 1 % of Londoners are human. Not 1% of each Londoner.
edit- hang on, I live in Buckinghamshire. That's where all the rich people who work in London come back to. Well, some of them.

I admit it, I have to eat Boots Meal Deals to afford my over inflated London mortgage.

Thanks for forgetting that this may be a website where people say things in jest. Christ, you can joke about rape, incest, child kidnapping, death, disability, racism, sexism, homophobia etc, but you can't make a sweeping statement in jest against Londoners.
Am I meant to think you're all lovely people now or something? Because I must say, you've convinced me. Sweet and friendly.
Oh, and by the way, most people on here judge Americans on where they live. Or is that different?

I don't judge anyone. I'd thank you to return the effort.

Also perhaps some tips on how to drag your stupid fucking suitcase containing enough crap for a trip to the North Pole onto the tube platform and then STOP DEAD to block the entrance.
Don't mind us, we only live here and are trying to get to work.

but it amazes me that people who choose to live and work in London (that's CHOOSE) get huffy about tourists. Did you think it was going to be like the Archers or something?

I'm honestly not bitching, I just... don't understand why people have such a problem with them. I don't know, everyone seems to care more about things that don't matter in London.

I get a bit frightened in the tube sometimes, everyone seems to know where they're going almost immediately, and you're NOT ALLOWED TO LOOK AT THE TUBE MAP. Ohhhh no, you should know it by heart.
Or at least, that's how some outsiders feel when we have to go to London.
