That’s more like the myth of Londoners not being friendly ie strangers not
striking up brief conversations, I frequently do just part of being human.
 Doesn’t mean folks chat to all folks ones encounters, but having a
conversation with a stranger is very normal to happen.

Last time I was in London, and I was walking down the street, as I passed by people I let them know what I had to eat for breakfast, how I felt, what I did the night before, and what I planned to to do later.
I handed people pictures of my family, my cat, my dog, and me doing some of my favorite things.
If they were talking to someone else then I would stop to listen to their conversation and then I would give them a "thumbs up" and let them know I liked what they were saying.
