Us Londoners have some pretty hard and fast unspoken rules that we follow when we're living our lives around London, and lots of tourists don't know about them and get caught out! So in this video, our Founder Jess Dante, an 11-year Londoner, is telling you about the unspoken cultural rules to follow when you're visiting London so you can mesh with the locals and not get frustrated yourself.
