You can say "hello" in London, just like you would anywhere else in the English-speaking world!
While Londoners are known for their friendly and welcoming nature, they also have a few unique ways to greet each other:
- "Alright?" This is a common greeting, often used as a casual way to say "hello" or "how are you?"
- "Good morning/afternoon/evening" These are more formal greetings, used when you're being polite or meeting someone for the first time.
- "Cheers" This is a friendly and informal way to say "thank you" or "goodbye," but it can also be used as a casual greeting.
It's worth noting that Londoners are generally very accepting of different ways of greeting people, so don't be afraid to simply say "hello" and smile!
