As for the original question: Just hang around and you'll find Brits and ex-pats lurking around. Watch for odd language clues as well.
Just cuz my location says Paris doesn't mean I'm a Frenchie
Zut alors, un rosbif en France? Mais oui!

Hello,
I am for NW London, Edgware and riding in London is not really that bad. There are plenty of back street to avoid heavy traffic. Suppose since I haved taxied in London and know it like the back of my hand it helps.
