Not British but here’s something I noticed when we acquired a company with an office in the Bay and in the UK (London, if it matters).

At the US office you just parked in the first available spot. In the UK office there were assigned parking spots for anyone with a management position closest to the door, roughly sorted by tittle. And the accents sounded a little bit different (for the British employees) between engineering and management and sales.




Most people don’t drive to work in London. The city is too dense.


Depends on where in London.

Central London, absolutely no driving.

Somewhere a bit further out of central London like Sydenham or Ruislip and I can see people driving to the office. If it’s there.
