Cultural Considerations
Politeness: The British are known for their politeness. It�s important to use "please," "thank you," and "sorry" frequently in conversations, even when not strictly necessary.
Queueing: One of the UK�s most notable customs is standing in line (or "queuing"). Always wait your turn in a queue and avoid skipping ahead.
Public behavior: Public displays of affection are generally accepted, but kissing and excessive touching in public spaces may still draw attention, particularly in more conservative areas.
Respect for personal space: The British value personal space, so try to avoid standing too close to others, especially in public transport or social settings.
