From what I've gathered with Japan, it seems like nobody talks to each other unless they are good friends or family, or co-workers / bosses. Most city folk in Japan seem wicked robotic and like they're only purpose is to work, and overwork. However, I follow Softypapa on KZread, and he is an American that moved to Japan to teach English. His big thing was always going on nice walks and hikes in the rural mountains and countryside, and just about every stranger he came across was friendly, smiling, and would have short conversations with him before he moved on. Some would even give him helpful tips or directions. Much slower pace in the countryside.

I remember the people of northern Wales as some of the nicest I'd ever met. At least, I think they were being nice. Couldn't understand a word they said, but they were smiling.

The sad thing is there is some truth in this. I recognize the same in my country. I lived in a small village for a long time and forgot you don't greet strangers without a reason in the city. So when I accidentally did, they looked at me with a mix of fear and awkwardness like: "Do I know you?". So it is not just London. On the other hand, I have to add that when I was 13 years old (some 40 years ago) my parents took us to London and while we were standing in the city looking at our roadmap, a typical English man in black suit and suitcase stopped and asked if he could help. I'll never forget that moment. Made me love the UK right away.

Grew up in a city in an Asian country. It is also considered to be creepy to talk to complete strangers (and I still don't get why greeting strangers on the street is a gesture to be friendly, sorry). Not to mention helping people with their suitcases or buggy in general( useless if they ask or really struggle). So when I move to London and studied, I find it super comfortable or even freer in a sense. Cuz in London everyone just happily minds their own business no matter what kind of outfit you are wearing, food you eating on the tube and always happy to help you with your suitcases. I felt completely respected for my time, space and mood but I get support when needed.

Of course, it means you could actually start a conversation and get to know a stranger too, or get help easily, if they feel inclined. But that interpretation probably depends on social norms and would not apply to places where you don't do this, would have the opposite effect. This is just my thinking but London is maybe notable because it's sort of mid-way between the set of norms, people do understand, there is some expectation of politeness (hence this sketch), but they also don't do it, so it only makes it more awkward when someone does. I get why people in big cities would not want it though. Because it may be unpleasant or dangerous.

I am from Ireland and over in Ireland it is normal to nod to random strangers if eye contact is made. Was wandering around London doing my normal nods. Some people blanked me. Others started walking faster! Completely freaked me out. I was worried I was nodding wrong. Had I forgotten how to nod? Only person who nodded back was a woman in a wheechair. When I got back to Ireland I was nodding left, right and centre. Thankfully it was the Londoners who were the problem as my nodding powers did not desert me.

NYC seems to be the same

Saw this a long time ago, loved it and shared with my friends in London. Having travelled to London for work/ friends for nearly 2 decades, this resonated with me. They all tell me (I paraphrase) "Move here. London is the place to be" but in the next breath tell me how expensive it is to live (apart from my v wealthy ones) so they dont actually have £ to do much in the great city, have less quality of life. They have few friends, some none locally at all, and quite lonely. Many of them have no idea of any UK life/culture past Watford Junction. One thought everyone "up North" lived in terrace houses (think Coronation Street Soap style). You can't blame them if they're using TV for references- how many articulate, erudite, people with northern accents are on TV/media outside of dumb soap operas? The only one I can think of is Brian Cox (astronomer not actor) LOL It's only in London that people get caught up in judging people by accent. Even though they're geographically such a small part of the UK. So I'll always love to visit, love my Southern mates, but I'm happy - if that's still legal : ) just where I am.

"Friendliness to strangers will not be a crime until next year" This sounds pretty plausible for 2019 London.

I wonder if this stereotype (?) of Londoners is a recent phenomenon or not bc I remember visiting London over 10 years ago and telling everyone back home how friendly people were despite my at the time rather poor mastery of the English language!

I was in London, back in the eighties, and I was crossing tower bridge, on my way to the train station to get back to Penzance……. And, because I needed to know what time it was, I called across four lanes of road, to a bloke on the other side, could he tell me the right time…….. He looked at me, like I was some kind of monster, and then he ran away like a rabbit……. Which was hilarious, because he was on the other side of the road(four lanes), and I couldn’t have got to him, even if I had wanted to……. But that’s Londoners for you………

Londoners are amateurs compared to Madrileños. I arranged a long weekend in London with my Spanish friend. On the first morning we were on our way to the London Eye. As we crossed a road, a man was sweeping up. I said hello and commented on the weather. He responded. My friend asked afterwards how I knew the man, and when I said that I didn't, he then said, with shock and horror in his voice, "but you spoke to him!" On a trip to Madrid later that year I understood the reason for his reaction. During my stay I only had one response to my attempts to be friendly, but many times people would not just look away, but turn their back on me. The more that happened, the friendlier I became, but to no avail. At least in London I more often than not got a response, albeit a surprised one.

I'm Italian and used to live in London - I stayed there for 4 years, in the early 2000s. Once, I fainted on the Tube. As I was losing my senses, lying on the floor of the carriage, I had a sense of people stepping around and over me and doing their very best to ignore me, though for all they knew I could be dying. When I came to, I found myself on a bench at a tube station, with a kind and concerned woman sitting next to me. It turns out, she was a visitor from Yorkshire who'd come to my aid while everyone else ignored me! She had carried me out of the train, offered to call an ambulance and had not left my side until I woke up. We spoke a little, she told me she was just visiting London and was absolutely shocked by the inhumanity of everyone just pretending to not see me. This was my experience of Northerners in London - so lucky I came across one that day!

Oh that's hillarious. I'm a Londoner but no longer live in London. I like going up North simply because people chat to you and are friendlier. However, when I'm on a bus on Kent most people chat to each other, but I think that's an age thing more than anything else. Older people seem to spring up conversations with other older people.

As someone from the Midwest I routinely greet people as I jog, and even if that is just a nod of acknowledgement, I still make a point of greeting people. Though it is good to know not to greet people while in London.

This is an excellent point to make, and it is true. I often did it and started from when I was like 17 when I began driving and exploring the world/meeting more girls in life and decided I could use my youthful rebelliousness and go against the grain and actually be friendly and what would be considered overtly expressive 'Hellos!' and 'Thank you very much have a loveday sir/miss etc. etc. to people like bus drivers (In fact, strangely, I don't remember a time I never actually said thank you to a bus driver after boarding and tapping my card), McDonald's workers, waiters, traffic wardens, police constables (though I was raised to not particularly like them) etc. etc. But it had a pronounced effect; the people who were shy and caught off would just muster whatever they could and just shrink inside their shell or something, the people who are receptive of it (often service people/homeless/elderly people) are actually really grateful and it makes your day as much as it might make their day. Before it was just a fun / non-harmful way to just interact with people, I'm 24 now and I still do it almost without thinking. It's just part of my personality. And I wouldn't even say I'm an extrovert or anything, quite the opposite, my friends just see it as a silly quirk I made a habit out of but I prefer it that way. It often compels you to smile and go about yourself more confidently anyway, which I'm all for. Smiling technically uplifts your mood anyway so it goes hand in hand with my born and bred Londoner blues. And yes I'm a Londoner to the very foundation of my being. Always have been since 1997, which probably is very young to someone like yourself but I do positively identify with being a Londoner more than any other part of my Britishness. I can see how if everyone went about the way I do it will caused a mass hysteria, but for the few who like to experience something new and always rewarding in their daily lives I do genuinely recommend it. Be excellent to each other, that's all.

It isn’t everywhere tho, of course, I found the Italians to be TOO sociable (and touchy), so I suppose there must be balance in everything.

im not from the uk but when i went to Bristol for my study, so many ladies in their 40-50s called me love like "you alright love?". in the supermarket, at the cafe, in the shops etc. i thought it was a norm in the uk for old ladies to be greeting strangers with love

I live in the north and worked in retail there. I called all ladies 'love' and men 'mate'. And i'd get called love and mate back. The funny situation was when a guy forgetting I was a bloke because most retail staff are female called me 'love'. I'd just reply "Not a problem darling." It always caused a laugh with him and the queue.

@Vijay Surya What dumb people from other countries dont understand is that Britian isnt some failed european state trying to protect the borders to contain what little they've managed to hang onto, Britain is a post-imperial nation that used to own 1/4 of the world and funnels all the talent and skilled individuals in from those former colonies to this day. The modern happy-clappy interpretation of "let's all hold hands and celebrate our differences" is a very new concept, the older concept of British nationalism is something more akin to the Roman Empire which is to make all the people from all the corners of the world we encounter work for Britain, force our values on them and profit. They benefit from a wealthy and secure society, the country benefits from their efforts, and the philosophers can wax lyrical about how we're spreading civilisation to the masses. We pretend otherwise but the model really hasnt changed in 200 years, and that's no bad thing. I wouldnt expect anyone from a weak country to understand, just focus on protecting your genepool and let the grownups play lol.

As a Canadian visiting London, I took a bus and luckily managed to find a seat despite the bus being absolutely full. I was seated next to the window with a 30-ish year old man sitting next to me reading a book. I made a little comment about something and he looked stunned and glared at me probably wondering if I was talking to him or just talking to myself - I repeated myself and he answered and we have a little conversation. After a few minutes, he told me that he'd been taking the same bus for 18 years and this was the first time somebody had talked to him.

Not in big cities, I think. At least in Rio, São Paulo, Belo Horizonte, etc, you don't usually say anything to people unless you have to talk to them. In the countryside and small cities, people do greet me in the street for no reason and I never know how to react.

Maybe I'm just lucky, but I've been to London 3 times (I'm from the US). I found everyone to be so nice, polite, and friendly. Even the workers in the Underground and the ticket sellers at the train stations. The last time (last summer), I was with my daughters (ages 8 and 11) and they keep commenting how nice, polite, and friendly everyone was. If Londoner's are considered reserved, I can only imagine what people outside London are like...

@user-ui7tn1fq2b

I think you’re just lucky. Maybe it’s because it was in the summer, when not everyone was so overwhelmed with work that they wanted to avoid as many people as possible. I go there quite often and everyone is extremely reserved. Also, people are always nice when you talk to them first, but nobody wants to initiate conversation.

I sadly did not have that experience. I've wanted to visit London since I was a teenager but never made it until the year before Covid. Whether it be hotel clerks, train staff or train passengers, I found them to be either rude or miserable. As a Canadian, I realize that it isn't typical behaviour to strike up conversations with strangers, but you should at least be helpful or friendly when asked a question by a customer in your workplace. Despite NYC having a similar reputation, I felt very welcome there.

If it wasn't for the laugh track, I would've thought this was real
