Same experience here. I'm originally from Italy, where the stereotype is friendly and warm people, I found Brits and Londoners in general to be quite easy to have a chat with, and relaxed around strangers especially after a pint or three. After 7 years in this country, my experience hasn't changed and I've grown very fond of the "British way" of doing things, the humour and mentality. While I moved to UK, part of my family moved to Switzerland (the French part of it), and their experience with Swiss people hasn't been as rosy as mine with Brits. YMMV.
