London office. In my short time here I have made the following observations and I can conclude that London is not Manhattan.

If you’re walking and you have something you maybe want to throw away at any point in the near future , you should toss it the second you see a bin because there won’t be another one, ever.If you look confused and/or scared when crossing the street, drivers will often speed up instead of the opposite.Christmas also starts on October 1 . . .There are no plugs in the bathrooms—unclear how British women blow-dry their hair .
Military time is very popular.

It’s apparently embarrassing and “American” to do so. They do, however, say “cheers” many times a day, but it means “thank you and goodbye.”Don’t try to order any fancy drinks at a pub, just play it cool, order “a pint” and drink whatever is in there.
