Try being polite getting on a tube in the morning rush hour and you just dont go anywhere..... I used to let people on before me - women, elders etc - now I just knock them out the way like everyone else, you dont get any thanks for it anyway and they would do it to you in a heartbeat.
But in general, yes.

yeah, I am a Londoner too but it isn't limited to London..I had the same experiences in America cities. Most of the time it doesn't bother me but someone bumped into me and made a huge deal of saying 'sorry' and I was struck by how weird it felt that someone had been polite.
