I went to see The Maiden last summer. It was great.
Key point no 1: passing a crossing, and seeing tens of MEEETTAAALLLLers standing with their black t-shirts, long beards, tattoos and piercings, all waiting politely on the other side for the green man to light up.

Of course this has got me into a couple of scrapes when I've misjudged it, but generally the more grease/hair/leather in effect, the mre likely you are to be able to just rock up and start chatting.

Though I nearly got myself in trouble last year: Wandered into a random pub, where about 6 or 8 bikers were propping up the bar. I was wearing a King Tubby t-shirt.
Biker: Right - who's having another? Baz - pint, Tricks - pint, Pete?
Pete: I'll just have a half.
Biker: You'll have a pint and like it. Mike? You ain't drinking. Paul? Pint.
A Vagabond: Go on then - I'll have a pint as well then.
Biker looks me up and down, then: I don't think so ... Tubby
A Vagabond (pulls out t-shirt properly).
Biker: Alright then (RIGHT in my face) I don't think so, KING Tubby.
One of those moments where you genuinely ask yourself what the FUCK you think you're doing.

I've found the effort people make to look different is generally a cry for attention.
The truly odd ones often look the most normal.
