Confused by how the British say one thing, but actually mean something else? Why are we so obsessed with talking about the weather? Why is everybody always saying “sorry” to each other?

Learn how British people generally behave and what they say in certain situations to help you understand why, and the most accepted way of doing things in the UK. For example, why and how the British queue, what are the general rules for walking on the pavement and when you’re on public transport.

Come along for a fun and light-hearted chat, and ask any other questions you have about British culture.

Victoria Rennoldson of Perfect Cuppa English helps to settle international people into life in London through a range of personalised services including English language for everyday and business, understanding British culture and personalised orientation walks.
