Some good insight here. Anyone have any general information on the city itself - what is the character of the various neighborhoods, advantages to being closer to the center of the city vs. the suburbs. Is there a line generally demarking the "City" and the surrounding suburbs that make up Greater London? Things like that.

Being this far north I can do a convincing Canadian accent if I flatten my vowels and don't talk too long, but I'd never try it in real life. I was mistaken (briefly) for being English the one week I did spend there for business. My Midwestern didn't seem to offend speakers of the King's English, so I have that going for me. I figure I'll walk a lot, smile and keep my mouth shut unless I'm asking politely for directions.
